Veterans Day Legal History & Monument Trivia

Ok -- today in honor of Veterans Day I want to combine a Civil War monument and a Supreme Court trivia question.  I hope I get this question right -- I think I've got all these pieces working together.  First off, where is the monument at right?  Second -- and this is where I may be a little off, but I think I have the story right.  This monument featured in a movie about a US Supreme Court Justice.  Which Justice?  Which movie?

I'm guessing that the monument is on the site of the Battle of the Wilderness, which involved the Mass. regiment of which future SC Justice O.W Holmes, Jr. was an officer. The movie was The Magnificent Yankee.

You're outstanding, Calvin! The monument is at the Bloody Angle and the movie is The Magnificent Yankee. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it a couple years ago and there was Justice Holmes visiting it with his wife. I'm thinking that they filmed on location.
