On Palm Sunday April 9th the lads of the 69th Pa gathered at the Saint Mary's
Cemetery in Phoenixville Pa to rededicate the gravestone of our Gettysburg
hero Corporal Hugh Bradley (D). The original Bradley stone had worn away and
was in need of replacement. Our honor guard, soldiers and assembled guests
visited each of the five 69th veterans at Saint Mary's and honored their memory.
At each grave soil from Ireland was placed on their "final resting place"
