Nyack Sketch Log: Korean War Hero and Ten Civil War Veterans receive Memorial Day Honors at Mount Moor

by Bill Batson On May, 1, 1865, three weeks after General Robert E. Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Court House, ending the Civil War, the first Memorial Day was observed. Recently liberated enslaved Africans and Colored troops held the commemoration in Charleston, South Carolina to consecrate a new and proper burial site for 250 Confederate prisoners who died from exposure and disease. A Memorial Day service that will be held in West Nyack on May 31, 2021 at 10:00am at Mount Moor Cemetery provides a direct connection to the origins of the solemn holiday. One of the ten veterans, whose headstones were replaced this month by the Department of Veteran Affairs and will be unveiled on Monday is Solomon Miller, a witness to Lee’s surrender.
