Medal of Honor Ceremony - Marietta, GA
Hi,
On Sat., March 25, at the Marietta National Cemetery, at 10 a.m., there will be a Medal of Honor dedication ceremony for Private Dennis Buckley of Co. G, 136th NY Regiment.
Buckley’s stone never reflected the fact that he had received a MOH because he had captured the 31st MI flag at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek.A new stone with the correct information on it will be dedicated this weekend.
Some of those attending will be:
US 14th Corps Headquarters Guard, 125th OH Vol. Inf., 104th IL Vol. Inf., 54th MA Vol. Inf., Christine Pappas-Consul Political & Economic Relations & Public Affairs for the Consulate General of Canada (Buckley was a Canadian who came down to the US to fight in the 136th NY Inf.), Elias Moon Camp #2 SUVCW, Captain Talbot Hackett of the 7th Military District Commander SVR, Geoffrey Hintz, Commander of the Dept. of TN SUVCW, and a number of descendants of the 136th NY Inf. Soldiers.
Please spread the word!
