Kane County Boy Scout Daniel Zedan organized the restoration of 22 veterans’ graves in St. Charles, some of which belonged to men who fought beside his ancestors in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Zedan chose to use his Eagle Scout Service Project to honor local heroes, their families and their memories. On May 3, with the help of family, friends and fellow scouts, Zedan restored the headstones of Civil War veterans buried in St. Charles North Cemetery.
