The signs shall include a graphic depicting the Grand Army of the Republic badge either on the sign itself or on separate placards, to be provided by the requesting organization, to be affixed to the sign posts. The Department of Missouri, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, shall pay for all appropriate signage.
