Sorry to hear about your great grandfather. Both of my great great grandfathers served in the Union Army. My maternal great great grandfather was wounded at Vicksburg. When he recovered, he went right back in and served till the end of the war.

I think me and my children definitely deserve exemption.

Thanks for the Constitutional lesson. I didn't realize that. Perhaps the drive for reparations will become a dead issue?

And the Constitution specifically bans ex post facto laws and bills of attainder, which means the crimes of the fathers cannot be visited onto the sons.
