The 69th Pa continues to locate the final resting places of the men who fought with the regiment during the Civil War. For the past 20 years we have sought to honor these men by placing gravestones on their final resting places at cemeteries in the Philadelphia area and in locations as far away as Ireland, Virginia, Illinois and California. With money raised from contributions and sale of the 69th music CDs we work with the Veterans Administration to design, create and transport gravestones. Our ceremony includes a reading of each soldier's biography, the placement of an Irish flag and soil from Ireland on the grave and a volley of rifle fire.
