All FOWB members, November 2nd is the date for the next installation of Flat Markers in the Fredericksburg Confederate Cemetery. The remainder of the last order of replacement markers will be placed that day, weather permitting.
FOWB has contributed both financial and physical assistance to this program for a number of years. The new markers are placed in front of the old markers that were installed back in the 19th Century, many of which are in need of correcting, or have disintegrated because of weather. Included in this year’s purchase are three markers that relate to Confederate Soldiers that died on the Wilderness Battlefield and which were designated as FOWB buys.
Volunteers are encouraged to arrive at the Confederate Cemetery by 9 am that day and to wear outdoor work clothes. In addition to gloves, you should bring shovels and other tools that would work well in removing sod and tamping of pea gravel. Drinks will be provided during the work session and Pizza will be available upon completion of the day’s work. For more information, please call Bob Epp at 703-475-6233.
