The 42nd was proud to be a part of a Confederate honor guard that participated in the dedication of a memorial wall constructed to identify 520 Southern soldiers buried in a mass grave in Warrenton, Virginia. The 42nd also made a donation to the "To Name the Fallen" project in memory of Samuel M. Richards, who served in Company B of the historical 42nd and whose name is engraved on the wall.
