The Fourth of July (Independance Day) celebration in 1946 was huge in our town. World War II was over and people were cheering like crazy as returned veterans marched by. Then came convertable cars, tops down and my Father pointed out to me a car with two men. The car had a banner across the side reading "Civil War." The two men, now in their early 90s, were Union veterans and had fought the Confereacy when they were about 12-years-old!
