Theodore O'Hara - National Memorial Cemetery in Arizona - Phoenix, Arizona - Etched in Stone on Waymarking.com

Theodore O'Hara (1820-1867) originally wrote this poem to honor his fellow soldiers from Kentucky who died in the Mexican-American War. The poem increased its popularity after the Civil War, and its verses have been featured on many memorials to fallen Confederate soldiers. Later, the poem was used at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2001, the National Cemetery Administration began returning the first stanza to any national cemetery in which the poem is missing.
