War and Peace Module 6 On Memorial Day Charley was the son of Amos Colley ， a farmer and his wife ， Sarah.When the Civil War broke out ， Charley was the first to join the Northern army.A year or so after he volunteered for the army he got badly wounded in a battle.Soon he died from the wounds in Virginia. Amos and Sarah were told that their son ' s body would be shipped home for burial.One October day a rough pine coffin arrived.The box was opened. Sarah was the first to look inside.Her face grew pale and her hand flew to her mouth ， for the body she gazed upon was the body of a stranger.He was a fair- haired boy ， dressed in confederate gray ， the uniform of the enemy. 话题导入 A search through his clothing gave them no further information.What to do? To attempt to return the stranger ' s body to Virginia seemed useless and somehow cruel.There was just one thing to do — to bury it.But where ？ Outside the town in some unknown spot? Sarah refused to do that.The stranger had been loved by someone; he had given his life ， as Charley had ， for a cause he believed right.He should have a decent burial in the town ' s cemetery.And so it was done. A week later a coffin containing Charley ' s body arrived.In his uniform of Union blue he was laid to rest only a few yards from where the stranger lay. The war ended.Each year ， on Memorial Day ， the town people put flowers and flags on the graves of their honored dead.They also honor the stranger ， the confederate soldier known only to God.
