TD Ryan welcomes special guest Harlan Hawkins to “TD Ryan Unleashed” episode 56 to discuss Hawkins’ ongoing mission to clean and restore veterans’ gravestones in DeKalb County, including nearly four dozen markers in Elmwood Cemetery, so visitors can read the names again. Hawkins shares how discovering his great-great-grandfather’s Civil War service led him to the Sons of Union Veterans and to rare Grand Army of the Republic journals found at the DeKalb County History Center, which detail how posts supported veterans through charity, jobs, funerals, and Decoration Day (later Memorial Day). He recounts remarkable local soldiers’ stories, explains Civil War-era markers and burial practices, and describes his careful, VA-approved cleaning process using water, soft brushes, and Wet & Forget. Hawkins plans to continue beyond Elmwood into other cemeteries, emphasizes remembering the war as the “War of the Rebellion,” and notes GAR posts’ integration of Black veterans.
