I am a longtime member of Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and currently am graves registration officer for the state unit of the Sons. But I cannot fit the Sons onto my credit line without using an abbreviation, which few outside the organization would understand what SUVCW is. So I just go with my name.

I have added info – via the flower system – for more than 500 vets where Find a Grave does not have any info about where they served – where it previously had just a photo of a tombstone or GAR marker with no explanation.

For more than three and a half decades, I have been a researcher and author on men and women lost in all wars, starting with my uncle who was killed in Normandy and is buried at the American cemetery at Brittany.
