620,000 Trees Being Planted to Honor Civil War Dead-- Part 2

A group has been working twenty years to make this come true in a project called Journey Through Hallowed Ground.  You can sponsor a tree with a $100 donation.

One tree is to be planted for each individual soldier who died, and with modern technology you can even find specific trees planted for specific soldiers (at least the known ones).

Australia has something like it with their Alley of Trees to honor their World War I soldiers.
