The markers of our heroes provide a lot of history to think about. Our National Cemeteries, as well as local cemeteries throughout the land, provide an opportunity to reflect on the true cost of war and to mingle among the heroes who paid the price for those wars.
Sergeant Bernard Taylor fought with Company A, 5th U.S. Cavalry during the Indian Wars. The Indian Wars were intended to remove Native Americans from their lands as part of the United States' vision of Manifest Destiny. Sgt. Taylor distinguished himself in combat and was awarded the Army Medal of Honor. A City Birds digital photo. |
