A forgotten Civil War veteran who died without a proper burial is finally receiving recognition, thanks to two eighth-grade students in New York… Fox News: link

Bill! This is from Fox News!!! We can't trust them!! 🤣😂 😉 Couldn't resist that, since I've had so many say that when I post. Congratulations to them for doing this. Good to see younger individuals involving themselves in History. Glad he's recognized.

Interesting story. Aside from the Civil War aspect, I had no idea there were still functioning almshouses in America in my lifetime. Grelber
