Flags mark veterans graves
0526-VETS-graves
Each April, the local Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 1404, relocate and flag the graves of Hall’s known Confederate veterans in commemoration of the month’s official designation. This is repeated in each county across Georgia.
From Clermont to Buford, in the most remote family burial plot to Gainesville’s Alta Vista Cemetery, the Cross of Saint Andrew marks the final resting place of more than 550 Confederate veterans in Hall County. April was Georgia’s Confederate Heritage and History Month. And with the adornment of spring came the decoration of soldiers’ graves who nobly served their state in the Civil War.
