Public Law 85-425: "Sec. 410. The Administrator shall pay to each person who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War a monthly pension in the same amounts and subject to the same conditions as would have been applicable to such person under the laws in effect on December 31, 1957, as if his service in such forces had been service in the military or naval forces of the United States." Approved May 23, 1958 - SOURCE: US Statutes at Large Volume 72, Part 1, Page 133-134. " Every soldier's grave made during our unfortunate civil war [sic] is a tribute to American valor. And the time has now come. when in the spirit of fraternity we should share in the care of the graves of the Confederate soldiers. and if it needed further justification it is found in the gallant loyalty to the Union and the flag so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grandsons of those heroic dead." .President William McKinley, 14 December 1898
