SUMMARY
=======
Confederate Memorial Park is an Alabama State Park located in Mountain Creek, in rural Chilton County, Alabama. Its address is 437 County Road 63, Marbury, Alabama 36051. It is sometimes found with the same address in Verbena, Alabama 36091.
Its centerpiece is Alabama's only state home for Confederate soldiers. It operated from 1902–1939 as a haven for disabled or indigent veterans of the Confederate army, their wives, and widows. The last veteran died at the home in 1934, and the facility closed in 1939 when the five remaining widows were moved to Montgomery for better care.In 1964, during the Civil War Centennial, the Alabama State Legislature established Confederate Memorial Park, encompassing the original 102-acre site of the home, as a shrine to the honor of Alabama's citizens of the Confederacy. In 1971, the site was placed under the authority of the Alabama Historical Commission.Althogh it is not pictured in the Park's posted collection of pictures, visitors to the Alabama Confederate Park will see the following banner: Many have been taught the war between the states was fought by the Union to eliminate Slavery. THIS VIEW IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE … The Southern States Seceded Because They Resented the Northern States Using Their Numerical Advantage in Congress to Confiscate the Wealth of the South to the Advantage of the Northern States.

We are headed out on Interstate 65, between Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama, to take a look at the Confederate Memorial Park, in Marbury. For you HISTORY BUFFS, this is the site of the Alabama Confederate Soldiers Home, the only official home for former soldiers of the Confederate States of America in the State of Alabama.
Founded in 1901 by a former Confederate veteran and lawyer from Montgomery, this home provided a shelter for former Confederate veterans and their wives and widows who could no longer support themselves even with pensions.

ANTIETAM NATIONAL CEMETERY - The History Guy
In 1864, State Senator Lewis P. Firey introduced to the Maryland Senate a plan to establish a state, or national, cemetery for the men who died in the Maryland Campaign of 1862. On March 23, 1865, the state established a burial site by purchasing 11¼ acres for $1,161.75.
The original Cemetery Commission's plan allowed for burial of soldiers from both sides. However, the rancor and bitterness over the recently completed conflict and the devastated South's inability to raise funds to join in such a venture persuaded Maryland to recant. Consequently, only Union dead are interred here. Confederate remains were re-interred in Washington Confederate Cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland; Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Frederick, Maryland; and Elmwood Cemetery in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Approximately 2,800 Southerners are buried in these three cemeteries, over 60% of whom are unknown.
In an effort to locate grave sites and identify the occupants, no one was of more value than two area men: Aaron Good and Joseph Gill. In the days, months, and years following the battle, these men freely gave of their time and gathered a large number of names and burial locations. The valuable service provided by these men cannot be overstated. The dead were identified by letters, receipts, diaries, photographs, marks on belts or cartridge boxes, and by interviewing relatives and survivors. Contributions totaling over $70,000 were submitted from 18 Northern states to the administrators of the Antietam National Cemetery Board. With a workforce consisting primarily of honorably discharged soldiers, the cemetery was completed by September 1867.
On September 17, 1867, on the fifth anniversary of the battle, the cemetery was ready for the dedication ceremonies. The ceremony was important enough to bring President Andrew Johnson and other dignitaries. President Johnson proclaimed, When we look on yon battlefield, I think of the brave men who fell in the fierce struggle of battle, and who sleep silent in their graves. Yes, many of them sleep in silence and peace within this beautiful enclosure after the earnest conflict has ceased.

2014 04 16 Updated memorial video to Pana High School, Class of 1956, classmates
May 30, 2014 - Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the Civil war to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars.
During our generation, the 1950's, Memorial Day was a holiday celebrated on May 30th, irregardless of the day of the week. We went to a parade, a ceremony at the Kitchell Park Soldiers Memorial, planted real live flowers at the graves of relatives and friends (whether they served in the military or not), listened to the Indianapolis 500 race on the radio (ABC first TV broadcast of the race was in 1965), and went swimming at the Pana above ground pool or fishing at Lake Pana. We cannot visit the graves of all of our deceased classmates, so let us maintain this tradition by viewing this short video produced by A Pana Panther, Pana High School Class of 1956, Pana, Illinois.
