In memory of their service to the Confederacy, over 144 flags were placed on the graves of veterans in major cemeteries in the county in April by our camp. We thank those who were able to help in the placement of these flags. We wish to hold in reverence the contribution that these men of Rabun County gave. Let us never forget.
