On October 10th 2009, two true living sons of Civil War veterans, Harold Becker and James Brown, Sr., met for the very first time. Harold's father (Charles Conrad Becker) served with the 128th Indiana Infantry and fought at Franklin. James Brown Sr.'s father (James H.H. brown) fought at Gettysburg.
This is amazing, I may get in contact with the son of a member of the 33rd Virginia!

Fantastic footage of their meeting. I hope all of the remaining Real Children will be interviewed for the Civil War's 150th Anniversary next year.
