Beaufort National Cemetery - South Carolinas Arlington

The cemetery is actually one of six national cemeteries that were established in 1863 for the burial of Union troops and sailors who died in the region during the Civil War
In 1987, the remains of 19 soldiers from the all-African American Massachusetts 54th Infantry were found on Folly Island, and these fallen soldiers were also transferred to the Beaufort National Cemetery with full military honors. (Cast members of the film Glory, which had recently been released in theaters at the time, were even present for the ceremony.)
Beaufort National Cemetery has interments from every major American conflict, beginning with the Spanish American War and ending with the most recent Gulf War.
The granite obelisk stands at the main gate honoring the Union troops who died during the war - a structure that was constructed in 1870 by unsung war hero Eliza McGuffin Potter, who cared for Union soldiers at the nearby Beaufort hospital. Potter was also the driving force between another one of the cemetery's notable landmarks, a marble and brick box tomb with the inscription of 175 soldiers from 18 states, which was also added to the cemetery in 1870.

Dad's Burial
Beaufort National Cemetery
November 5, 2012
This is from the Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC. It is my view from my dad's burial service. At the end, a Marine presents the flag to my brother and says.. On behalf of the President of the United States, the United States Marine Corps, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a token of our appreciation for your father's honest and faithful service.
Pretty awesome.
Florence National Cemetery
Florence National Cemetery is the smaller of two such shrines in South Carolina; the other is at Beaufort. Located 1/4 mile north of the former site of the Florence Confederate Stockade, the cemetery was created when a plantation owner named James H. Jarrott allowed the dead to be buried in trenches on his property near the camp. The first burial took place on September 17, 1864, and the cemetery was established as a National Cemetery in 1865.

REB Digs; 55Th Massachusetts African American Soldiers, Beaufort Nat'l Cemetery 1989 Morgan Freeman
On Memorial Day, 1989, the 19 African-American Soldiers that I discovered on Folly Beach, S.C. two years earlier, were laid to rest at the Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort S.C. It is a miracle that this tape exists, and that I do as well. In 1989, I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness. I had just endured three major surgeries in the two months before the re-burial. On the day of the re-burial, I checked myself out of the Duke Medical University, and attended this event with my family. My parents drove me to Beaufort, and to experience the event of a lifetime. My father had borrowed a VHS Video Camera, and he with no previous experience in using one, recorded this rare recording of one of the most historic moments in the history of our Country.
Thousands attended this, including then Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis, and the cast from the movie Glory. The movie was just wrapping up filming in the area, and cast member Morgan Freeman, Producer Freddie Fields, along with the rest of the cast were in attendance.
Personally, for me, it was like living a dream. The absolute brilliance of the Military bearing of this event was awe inspiring. I was overwhelmed by the hundreds of people, who wanted to thank me and shake my hand, and I even received my fare share of hugs and kisses of gratitude that day. All for doing what I love and still love to this day, history.
Now, here in the summer of 2012, you can see what took place those twenty-three years ago. A glimpse into a day, that was as historic, as it was beautiful. The pageantry along with the muffled drum beats, the fife playing, the twenty-one gun salute, and the playing of Taps for men who so long ago gave the last full measure.
For me, that day is a part of me that will never die. And in the time since this day of days, my Mother and Father who were with me on this special day, are too buried in this same Cemetery near where the 55Th Massachusetts were lain to rest.
They are in excellent company there. Under the Spanish moss, oaks and palmettos. Where heroes spend eternity.
I dedicate this film to my new Grand Child, Mora. May she one day see this, and be reminded of not only what he grandfather contributed to history, but to also understand the richness of the history of her Country, that is also a part of her.
