Due to the heavy downpour during the Memorial Day Ceremony at Wilmington National Cemetery, Camp Commander Ed Gibson was unable to follow General Logan's Order #11 and decorate the grave of his father and his great-grandfather's Regimental Sergeant Major Issac Whitmer. On the 150th anniversary of the first Decoration Day, Brother Gilbert returned to the Wilmington National Cemetery Cemetery, and placed a rose at Sgt. Elwood Gibson's grave and Whitmer's grave. Long may the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War honor General Logan's Order and honor our dearly departed veterans.
