In preparation for that commemoration, a research project was begun on the soldiers who fought in that war. The project started with the names of 300 soldiers from the Upper Dauphin-Lykens Valley area, but it quickly became obvious that there were many more veterans than previously thought. Now, more than 3000 Civil War veterans have been identified! Many of these veterans served honorably but their graves are not marked with the customary G.A.R. star (Grand Army of the Republic).
