Decoration Day Honors Southern Soldiers Observed in San Antonio
Southern soldiers were honored at the Confederate Cemetery in San Antonio during an April 28 Decoration Day event. Reenactors in 1860s garb fired volleys over graves as Daniel Bee recounted the story of Brig. Gen. Hamilton Bee, whose remains lie there. Volunteers maintain the cemetery, owned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
