The Best Civil War (GAR) Grave Marker on the Market
Celebrate the life of your ancestors with the Civil War Grave Marker for the Grand Army of the Republic. Founded in Illinois in 1866 by Benjamin F. Stephenson, it consisted of honorably discharged veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine Corps or the Revenue Cutter Service who had served during the Civil War. In the post war environment, it served them to have a governing body to advocate for issues that were important at the time and would help develop the US after the Civil war all the way up until it was dissolved in the 1950's.
About the GAR Grave Marker Design
The Civil War GAR Grave Marker's main design is the prominent "GAR" and dates of the Civil war from "1861-1865". The star is decorated inside each point with various items that would have been used in the war such as guns and swords.

Gettysburg Flag asks Jul 24, 2024
Which material choice will last the longest?
Gettysburg Flag answers Jul 26, 2024
All of the grave marker materials will last similar lengths of time. There will be some oxidation that will change the color of the bronze markers over time! Other than that, your marker should last a long time no matter what material you choose!

- Fantastic QualityQuality100%Value100%I purchased 3 Bronze Civil War Markers for a local cemetery that had been abandoned for many years. The 3 veterans deserved the best and I feel they got it with these medallions. The quality is great and they will look even better when placed by the headstones at the dedication ceremony in September 2017. Thank You

- Thank you so muchQuality100%Value100%Someone dug up my flowers and took my 3rd G Grandfather's flag. When I returned the following Saturday for our Civil War Soldier Memorial day event SUVCW Curtenius Guard Camp#17 Michigan. I was dumbfounded. After our service, I went and purchased more flowers and another flag to place on my Grandfathers new GAR holder.

- Excellent qualityQuality100%Value80%I received three of these markers and I'm impressed with their quality. I have not placed them outside yet, so I can't speak to their durability. All in all, I'm satisfied with my purchase.
