To all the unknown Americans who fought and died for the ideals that this country was founded on... we give "A Last Salute".

this is a very interesting website with much information,and no matter whether from the North or South...their were men who made the ultimate sacrifice...and no matter where we all live today - it is very unprofound that we honor many a civil war soldier by turning hallowed grounds into golf courses,condo's,shopping centers and other materialistic ungodly selfish means of worldly pleasures...and forget who shed their blood for thee!

Born and raised in Fairfax County. I grew up with the Civil War around me. My father was born in 1899 and my grandfather in 1850. I was taken to many of Jackson's camps and Mosby's hiding places. My great uncle was at Ox Hill.

I am of Southern orginin & yet there so many 'valiant" men, soldiers on both sides. One of my familys' ancestors wrote a little book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin." I don't believe that "owning" a person is morally correct. Like most Americans I probably have ancestors that fought in Confederate & Union armies. The Civil War brought untold tradegy, loss & suffering not only to the ones who died but to millions of those who gave "their last full measure" in order that we become a nation unified.

Thank you to the soldiers - North and South who helped establish what it means to be an American.

In response to the entry below. I couldn't agree more. This preservation model chronicles what has happened to our heritage over the last 20 or so years. The location where the graves were found was being bulldozed for a McDonalds parking lot.

This web site was also designed to show how  technology could be used as a preservation tool in today's virtually networked world.. I t was the best that could be done under the circumstances. 

Each generation must protect what defines our national character, our humanity... to pass the flag....  which I now pass on to you.

Although it is great that you have dug up their graves to find out about our history, but wouldn't it be more respectful to leave them be? Most people wouldn't appreciate getting their graves dug up.

It is not so much what we say as what we do that will tell our children of values that are worth giving a supreme sacrifice so they can tell their children. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell my son what is important.
