Combat veterans in California have been working on the hearse that will be used in Abraham Lincoln's funeral re-creation later this spring. It will be at the center of events in Springfield commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's funeral processional and burial.
Work on the hearse provided a number of challenges. And in a way, it served as therapy for those working to make sense out of civilian life back home.
Illinois Public Radio's Rachel Otwell spoke with Eric Hollenbeck about it. He's the founder of the Blue Ox Mill in Eureka, California and a combat vet himself.
