Yes, I got it through the VA. The Lady at Hollywood Cemetery sent me the paperwork to fill out and helped me. I saw somewhere that the government is not going to just let anyone get the headstones for Vets now. I guess they used to let anyone fill out the paperwork for one, and that now only family could get it. I did not read the article just saw it in a quick glance on something so I could be totally wrong! LOL I hope you do write an awesome hisotry! I'd love to read it! What were the names of the books that were written about the 17th Mississippi that you mentioned? I'd like to get them!

Thanks,
Nikki
