> Kathy, see below for some interesting info from a historian/amateur genealogist in DE. Apparently, a few of Beau and the VP's relatives were civil war vets. Doubtful Beau attends the event, but it's an interesting piece of family history.

>> Beau,
>> Two years ago you stopped to speak with my group from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War as we were lining up for the Wilmington Memorial Day Parade. I told you then that you and father had several veterans from the Civil War. You mentioned you would be interested in hearing more. Well with everything else in life I simply never got back to it. I did however the other night and quickly located several, they include:
>>  
>> George H. Robinette who served in the 17th West Virginia
>> Robert Theodore Liddell who served in a Maryland unit under an alias of John Dawson Liddell which was the name of his younger brother but I am not sure why he used his name.
>> Both of these men were your direct ancestors.
>>  
>> I also located Michael Finnegan who would have been a great-great-great uncle who served and was killed in the battle of Cold Harbor in 1864, and his brother Stephen Finnegan who served and was wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House and carried the shrapnel for the rest of his life.
>>  
>> I mention this because I would certainly welcome you to join the Appomattox Camp No. 2 Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War on the basis of any these brave ancestors service. Sen. Coons is also a member of our camp having joined while he was NCC President when I tracked down his Civil War ancestor in New York. One of our Pennsylvania Camps is proud to claim Sen. Robert Casey as a member.
>>  
>> The other reason I mention this is that on November 6th the Sons of Union Veterans will be making a flag presentation to the JROTC Unit at Mount Pleasant High School and I would welcome you to join us as we present the flag, honor our Veterans for veterans day and also present the JROTC with a grant from the new Brandywine Education Foundation to support the efforts of the JROTC in instilling the leadership qualities so needed in our students today.
>>  
>> The event will be held at 8 am. I realize it is Return Day in Sussex but the idea is that our event will be over by 8:45 leaving plenty of time for anyone who wishes to travel to Georgetown to do so in plenty of time for the main event.
>>  
>> Delivering some remarks that day will be my cousin Hon. Wayne R. Hanby who served 20 years as a Justice of the Peace and is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War. As a young Marine he lost an eye and part of his arm when his unit was overrun on a hill in Vietnam in August of 1969. He told me this past weekend that he had just received a very nice note from your father congratulating Wayne on having been inducted into the Delaware Wall of Fame in 2012.
>>  
>> If you can join us it would be a great honor.
