@VicksburgNPS Please share widely and spread the word. These #USarmy soldiers fought for us at the Battle of Vicksburg and are buried in a part of the cemetery affected by a landslide. They need to be re-interred.

@VicksburgNPS Those of us working on the project believe family should be there and have a say in the process. Please get in touch here, or @DrAngelaSutton or @VicksburgNPS directly if you have a connection.
