In 1954, November 11 became the day to honor all veterans. Here are my veterans:

Andrew DeShields 2 Reg’t Missouri Infantry enlisted August 7, 1862

Seems like William Rodman Benson and Henry Arney should have served in the Civil War based on their ages and locations. They were both in Arkansas, although Henry went to Illinois and then came back after the war. There are also lots of Shamblin from Tennesse that served in the Civil War so probably some of those are related somehow.
