Product Description

The2FunAdGuyz offer a new, 11” x 17”, Civil War Union Army Recognition of Service record, which descendants of Union Army soldiers can use to produce a memorial record of a soldier’s service. Additional prints are available to create additional records for other members of the soldier’s family. Partially based on an 1894 lithograph, our artist has added new artwork (copyrighted) that creates a rich presentation to honor your ancestor. This stunning presentation allows you to enter the name of the soldier, his dates of service, company and regiment. There is even an “Honor Roll of Battles” that allows a record of up to fourteen battles. You can do that yourself, or you can have a calligrapher do it for you. Either way, this is a magnificent way to memorialize a soldier’s sacrifice to his cause.

Printed on a golden, parchment-like paper, three US Presidents appear on this Recognition of Service. President George Washington crowns the document in a laurel wreath and festoons. Beneath his portrait an American eagle flies, his talons clutching an American Flag. President Abraham Lincoln is on the left side and President Ulysses S. Grant is on the right. Both images are bust portraits inside laurel wreaths and festoons with their signatures beneath their portraits. Underneath the banner where you record the soldier’s service are two clusters of American Civil War era flags of the United States. Between the US Flags is a drawing of the United States Capitol. Immediately underneath the Capitol and between the bases of the flags stands cannon. On the right side of the cannon is a pile of grapeshot and a mortar. On the left side of the flags, next to the cannon, is another pile of grapeshot, three muskets, and two drums. Two drawings of military conflict complete the bottom portion of the document. On the right side is the epic “Battle of Hampton’s Road” (also called the “Battle of the Monitor and Merrimac”. On the left is a representative battle scene showing Union Forces charging into a flurry of cannon fire and smoke.

What is particularly rich about the certificate is the large, bordered banner to record the name of the soldier. Our artist has created a spectacular color background of a Union Army soldier holding a US flag. He stands in front of a camp tent. The artwork, printed very lightly, creates a rich background for the bronze-colored text you can use to record a soldier’s service. That bronze colored text reads as follows.

“Dedicated to the brave soldiers and sailors who at their country’s call volunteered their services and willingly and patriotically and if need be were willing to sacrifice their lives and all that was dear to them, that the STARS and STRIPES should forever float proudly and unsullied over a United Country “Land of the brave and Home of the free” the GREATEST, GRANDEST and NOBLEST inheritance possible to bequeath to future generations.”


Next is the part that has blanks spaces within the text to allow you to personalize the record for your soldier. Set in an ornate script, it reads as follows:

_____(Centered Top Line to Insert The Soldier’s Name)______


Was a Soldier in the Volunteer Army of the United States in obedience to the call of President Abraham Lincoln to suppress the Southern Rebellion of 1861. That he served honestly, faithfully, and gallantly from the ___ day of _________, 186_ to the ___ day of _________, 186_ in the ____________ Company, of the _______________ Regiment of the Union Army.


Honor Roll of Battles


There are then 2 columns of seven rows each to allow you to list up to 14 separate conflicts.

We include a set of simple suggestions for you to use when personalizing the document. We also send a sample of paper to practice with prior to filling in the record. Please note that while we have a return policy for unmarked items (see return policy), we cannot accept returns on documents that have writing or markings on them.

As you can see, this is a beautiful, fitting and dignified way to create a memory for those who were part of the tragic events.
