The trees will be geotagged, and visitors can access information about each soldier represented, when available, including photos, diaries and records from the 1860s.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Park Service, half of the Civil War\u2019s fallen soldiers remain unknown, but even those without records will have a tree dedicated in their honor, Butcher says.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so present because of all the American men and women who were killed in the recent battles.
