That is a touching story, but the good news is the soldier got a Christian burial and his remains were known by family members. That just doesn't tug at my heart strings, knowing there were many thousands of soldiers buried in unmarked graves, mass graves, or not buried at all. There must be a quite a few soldiers who died in Ft. Delaware that have no marked graves at all. There are national cemeteries in the South with tens of thousands of yankee soldiers. Those graves at yankee POW camps like Ft. Delaware, Elmira, Johnson's Island, Camp Douglas, ad nauseum ought to be cleaned up and maintained with federal funds. And the consolation for yankees is they can segregate the Confederate soldiers from the Federals, like at Arlington National Cemetery.
