A woods encircled knoll high above town adorned with bright white stones engraved with names and dates of young Confederate soldiers who died just as their lives had begun.  We came upon a ceremony today.  Each year the town of Huntersville sets two markers for Confederate soldiers who were buried in unmarked graves on the hill above town.  Re-enactors in full Confederate Uniform stood watch over the newly marked graves as descendents laid roses and in one case even sprinkled soil from the home farm in Tennessee then the American Legion Honor Guard fired their salute.  Together they honor the fallen.  It is a wonderful, locally borne, heart felt tribute.  Beautiful.
