UNION & CONFEDERATE ARMY CIVIL WAR VETERAN RECORDS
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:
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.

To comply with various federal and state laws, the following language appears at the very bottom. “Not an official government document.” If you are matting the document, the matting can easily cover it.
The2FunAdGuyz offer a new, 11” x 17”, Civil War Confederate States of America (CSA) Recognition of Service record, which descendants of soldiers of the Confederate States of America Army can use to produce a memorial record of the soldier’s service. Additional prints are available to create additional records for other members of the soldier’s family. Partially derived from an 1896 lithograph, our artist has added new, copyrighted artwork 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 an “Honor Roll of Battles” that allows a record of up to thirteen battles. You can do the personalization yourself, or you can have a calligrapher do it for you. Either way, this is a magnificent way to memorialize a soldier’s sacrifice. We have created this Recognition of Service for people who wish to create a memorial document for themselves or family members, or for Civil War re-enactors who wish to create a history of their reenactment activity. It is not based on, or intended to be, an official record of civil war service.
Printed on a golden, parchment-like paper, this remarkable Recognition of Service features portraits of twelve civilian and military leaders (identified by script written on a small ribbon banner underneath each portrait) of the CSA and a montage of CSA icons, building and flags. All this surrounds a central scroll with a Recognition of Service so you can enter the details of your ancestor’s service.
At the top center are bust portraits of (l) Jefferson Davis, President of the CSA, and (r) Alex H. Stephens, CSA Vice-President. Laurel and garlands surround these portraits.
On the left side of the document, starting at the top and in descending order are General Robert E. Lee, Major General J. E. B. Stuart, Lieutenant General J. B. Gordon, Commodore M. F. Maury and Admiral Ralph Semmes. On the right side of the document, starting at the top and in descending order are Lieutenant General T. J. “Stonewall” Jackson, Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, General G. T. Beauregard, Major General Sterling Price and Lieutenant General N.B. Forrest. Each oval contains a small ribbon banner at the bottom with the name of the person appearing in that oval.
Beneath the ovals and to the left and right of the scroll are 4 full-color flags of the Confederacy. The top left flag is the first official flag of the Confederacy, called the "Stars and Bars" with seven stars. On the lower left corner is the second national flag of the Confederacy, called the "Stainless Banner". In the upper right corner is what most people today identify as the Confederate flag. In fact, it is actually the Navy Jack or one of the variations used by 184 CSA military units. The flag on the lower right is the third national flag, adopted March 4, 1865, just before the fall of the Confederacy. It is the nearly the same as the second national flag save the red bar on the right side. That additional red bar was added so when hanging limp it did not appear like a white flag of surrender.
Those same four flags appear in a cluster at the bottom of the scroll. To the right of the flag cluster is the seal of the Confederate States of America and on the left is a Confederate Veterans medallion. At the bottom, left corner is a line drawing with the caption “State Capitol Building-designed by Thos. Jefferson-Used by Confederate Congress”. At the bottom, right corner is a line drawing with the caption “Jefferson Davis Mansion, Richmond, VA.—occupied by our President and family During the war. NOW USED AS A CONFEDERATE MUSEUM.”
At the very bottom, center—just below the cluster of flags—are two battlefield drawings with captions. The drawing on the left has a caption that reads “ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN MERRIMAC & MONITOR.” The drawing on the right has a caption that reads FIRST BATTLE OF MANASSAS.”
What is particularly rich about the certificate is the central scroll with text to record the name of the soldier. Our artist has created a spectacular color background featuring a painting of the beloved General Robert E. Lee, atop his horse, leading his troops into battle. That artwork, printed very lightly, creates a rich background for the bronze-colored text to record a soldier’s service. That bronze colored text allows you to personalize the record for your soldier. Set in an ornate script, it reads as follows:
There are then 2 columns of five rows plus three additional single lines to allow you to list up to thirteen separate conflicts.
We include a set of simple suggestions for you to use to make it easier to personalize the document. We also send a sample of the parchment 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 fitting and dignified memory of those who were part of the tragic events that transpired mid nineteenth century.
