On Saturday and Sunday I was able to place 22 flags honoring my military ancestors. It took 12 hours of my time but it was definitely worth it! I have now been placing these flags for my ancestors for over 30 years and I hope and pray someone from my family will continue this tradition. Lastly, I forgot to display the gravestone of Pvt. Joseph McCormick who served in Utterback's artillery company, a unit from Fauquier County, Virginia. Joseph, Robert and their brother William all served in Virginia units.

Day 1 on my quest to flag all my military ancestors. I have photos of Marc Streagle at the tombstones of Pvt. Henry Brannny, Capt. Joseph, and Pvt. Peyton Anderson who all served fighting for Virginia in the Civil War and a photo of myself at the grave of our Revolutionary War ancestor Pvt. Elijah Anderson. All are buried in Rappahannock County, Virginia. I also was able to stop at the graves of Corporal Robert McCormick and Pvt. Elijah Anderson who also fought for Virginia in the Civil War. Seven down about 13 to go! Including my father! Starting Day 2 soon!
