\"Volunteers\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

According to Fox News<\/a>, ten Tennessee volunteers are coming home after they were killed in the Mexican War in 1846.<\/p>\n

The soldiers were part of the Army of Occupation led by former President Zachary Taylor \u2013 then a general \u2013 who fought in the 1846 Battle of Monterrey. Out of a force of more than 6,000 soldiers from Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio and Texas, only 120 U.S. troops were killed and 43 went missing in the three day m\u00eal\u00e9e in which American forces defeated the Mexican Army of the North.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists in Mexico discovered the remains of 10 soldiers between 1995 and 2011 as the scientists dug in an area where a construction company planned to build.<\/p>\n

Tennessee believes the soldiers were part of the state\u2019s militia. About 30,000 Tennesseans responded to calls for additional troops and about 35 were killed in action…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
