Ladies and Gentlemen,
See the email below from Camp 2316 member Chris Mathis. The damnyankee VA is still denying markers to both Confederate and Union veterans as well as those veterans of the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Indian Wars!

Dear Volunteers,
For the last year, the VA's Headstone and Markers Program, which for more than a century has been marking the graves of American veterans, has, in effect, been shut down. Veterans of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and other service whose unmarked graves have been located by researchers continue to lie in unmarked graves because of a new, and inappropriately restrictive, regulation.
This is wrong. It should not be happening.
Please go to our webiste, "Mark Their Graves," http://www.markthei
and sign our petition to change this. And contact anyone you know who may be interested in supporting this effort.
Thanks!
