The picture of the 3 men shown at about :34 seconds is a picture of three fraudulant Confederate veterans – in it for the money and attention. The last confederate died in 1951, this picture was taken later in the 1950’s. Other than that a fine tribute to the men in gray, and an excellent choice of song as well. Thank God they lost, and the Union was preserved.

The veteran on the left has what looks like a Spanish American War era coat onTha other two seem to have a Confederate Army era coat on. IT was more than likely a gathering for all “Veterans” What makes you think that the photo was made in the later 50s?

Clarification: Possible veterans & one fraud shown in the photo at :34 are, left to right, William Townsend, John Salling (definite fraud), and William J. Bush. The photo shown is actually from 1951, not the late ’50’s as I had thought. More info: see wikipedia (various). Pleasant Crump of Lincoln, AL was the last verified CSA vet.

I’m 13 and we have debates in History once a week. Someone always brings up slavery and how bad the South is, even though we’re in the South. But I know it was heritage, not hate, and I love my South and I love every Confederate soldier there was. My great great great uncle was a sargent general and survived Gettysburg and I will preach the true meaning for as long as I live!

Both sides had gallant men, they are brothers in arms, now at peace in God’s hands.
