WELCOME TO LIME CREEK CEMETERY
In honor of Veterans Day, November 11, 2008, TeamMina has placed this cache in a cemetery near what is easily our favorite monument . It is a tall spire dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Civil War. These brave souls all hail from the Medina, Michigan area, serving with the 4th Michigan Infantry, the 18th Michigan Infantry, the 11th Michigan Calvary, or with the United States Sharpshooters.
