During the American Civil War (US Civil War) the northern army (aka Yankee Army, Northern Army, Federal Army, Union Army, U.S. Army, Blue Coats, etc.) was also known as the GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. They had one of (if not the first) US veteran groups in US history...GAR, which died out in the 1930s when the last of their membership passed into history (died out). The VFW founded in 1899 is currently the US's oldest veterans group. This organization was founded by and for US Spanish-American War (1898) veterans.
