The Civil War

I am a member of both the Son's of Union Veterans and the Son's of Confederate Veterans.

The US Civil War impacted many lives and our family was not immune to the trauma of war.

My father wrote a nice article about some members of my Veal family that were in the civil war. I intend to update the article as we have discovered some of his facts are not accurate. But here is what he wrote.
