Civil War Hero Honored in Penn. Ceremonies
An honor guard of seven men dressed in Union Civil War uniforms held up their rifles and pointed them to the sky as they fired a volley of three shots on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon (July 10) at the Oakland Cemetery in Indiana, Pennsylvania. A crowd of about 50 people including a half dozen Asian American students and visitors stood at attention to witness this unusual event.
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War held the special commemoration to honor four Civil War veterans including Chinese American Thomas Sylvanus.
