On Saturday, May 31st. A ceremony was held at Pinecrest Cemetery. Kelly McGee from Morris Funeral Chapel was asked to reset these two markers that were laying flat on the ground and had been chipped by mowers. Kelly pulled the markers, pressured washed and reset them in concrete. He was contacted by the Rough Riders in Tampa to do this. Some of the Bassage family along with the Rough Riders had done research to learn more about Mr. Albert Bassage and his wife. Albert was a veteran of the 1st Volunteer Calvary for the Spanish American War. Here is some of the video (recorded with permission)
