  • The Confederate Memorial is a memorial in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States that commemorates members of the army and navy of the Confederate States of America who died during the American Civil War. Authorized in March 1906, former Confederate States Army sergeant and sculptor Moses Jacob Ezekiel was commissioned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to design the memorial. It was unveiled by President Woodrow Wilson on June 4, 1914 (the 106th anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy). The memorial grounds have been altered slightly due to burials and alterations since 1914. Some major changes were proposed, but none have been implemented. Since the memorial's unveiling, the President of the United States has almost always sent a funeral wreath to be laid at the memorial every Confederate Memorial Day. Since 1990, some presidents have declined to do so, and the tradition is controversial.
