An American flag decorates a Civil War veteran's grave at the Christian Union Cemetery, next to the Christian Union Church on County Road 7, just north of State Road 8, in rural DeKalb County, Indiana.

The flag is mounted on a holder with the Grand Army Of The Republic star. The G.A.R. was an organization of Union Army veterans formed after the Civil War. This was a couple of days before Memorial Day, a Holiday honoring those who died serving in the U.S. Military. Though many of the graves in the cemetery had flags on them, it surprised me to see that someone was still tending a grave from the late 19th Century.

The tombstone is badly worn. I could not read the name of the man buried here; but I could make out that he served with the 15th Ohio Infantry Regiment.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
