Civil War soldier honored with new tombstone at Mich. cemetery

It has been almost 102 years since Civil War veteran Alvah Nichols was laid to rest. A brand new tombstone marks his grave site, decorated with wreaths, flowers and an American flag. But not too long ago, there were no such decorations. In fact, there was not even a tombstone to mark the soldier's grave.http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805412.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:yIl2AUoC8zA ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805413.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:F7zBnMyn0Lo ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805414.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:V_sGLiPBpWU ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805415.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:qj6IDK7rITs ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805416.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:gIN9vFwOqvQ ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/805417.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=oGQwpZFM_Ps:_KIZYE4WrBY:QXVau8BzmBE )
