G.A.R. Monument Dedication
The public is invited to a media event as Indian Nations Camp #3 SUVCW and Rachel Cormany Auxiliary dedicate a new G.A.R. Monument at Rose Hill Cemetery in Tulsa on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th, 2008 at 10:00am. This 10' tall concrete obelisk will commemorate the contributions and sacrifices of Union Soldiers, who later founded Camps of the Grand Army of the Republic in Oklahoma. The monument is made possible through generous donations of many individuals, organizations and area corporations, and the efforts of members of Indian Nations Camp #3.
