Two Generals At Final Confederate Army Reunion
In Jackson Mississippi two elderly veterans in wheelchairs watch the closing reunion of the Confederate Army. Gen William Josh Bus of Fitzgerald Georgia aged 106 and Gen William D Townsend of Olla Louisiana aged 107 appear content with the dwindling veterans group dissolved by organizers. Bus jokes he will have a bay old time and Townsend echoes with a faint whoopee as the event ends.
