If you decide to go I will go with you and honor him on behalf of my relative. That Calvary Unit often screened the Artillery when they displaced to alternate firing positions. Or as we in the Army like to say during retrograde advances....

Thank you, that is very kind CR66.

Not a problem ...I am very serious about honoring the bravery of those past. I want to do my part to mak sure that all of America's Fallen Both Blue and Grey...and all others are never forgotten. When my unit goes overseas anywhere we always try to go to the nearest American Military Cemetary and lay a wreath. CR66

That's awesome! My old unit had an annual landscaping, and cleaning up of the local American Cemetary in the KMC (Germany.) I always felt honored to be a part of it.
