On Saturday, April 17, 2010, soldiers from the 1880s were honored. They were originally buried in Tucson, and were reburied in the Southern Arizona Veterans’ Cemetery in Sierra Vista last year. Some who once served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War went on to serve in the American Army, side-by-side with those who fought for the Union, during the Indian wars in the late 1800s in Arizona.
The event included taped music of the National Anthem and the firing of a cannon. Emilie Siarkiewicz, Vice President of UDC in the Arizona Division, and Gretchen Brittain, President of John R. Baylor Chapter in Tucson, were in attendance.
