G2G: Please create a sticker for Category: Dakota War of 1862

Question

Hi,

Please create a sticker for the Category: Dakota War of 1862.

A number of my ancestors in Minnesota fought in the Dakota War of 1862, including the significant Battle of Birch Coulee and the various expeditions.  While I recognize that this is a minor war by US standards and that it was drowned out by the Civil War (in which my ancestors and in-laws found themselves embroiled as a flow on from the Dakota War for which they had actually volunteered), it is a significant and often overlooked part of American history with ramifications for ALL parties involved.  While there was an overlap with the Civil War, it was a separate war with unique objectives and a different set of combatants.  A sticker in recognition would be much appreciated.  Thanks for your consideration.

NOTE: Only 2 profiles link to the Dakota War category via a sticker now, both through use of a KIA sticker.  One is my GGF's brother-in-law Colledge-291, which I placed there. I gave him a Civil War sticker only because no Dakota War sticker existed.

Don't use the CW sticker for non-CW profiles. It's not an all purpose thing. I have created the unit profile for the Dakota War for the 6th Minnesota Regiment. Also, please read:

So, there need to be others who will use this sticker.

As an alternate, use the https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Veteran_Recognition for the profiles, which is more of an all-purpose sticker to recognize service.

Please contact me directly for other possible units you need to add to the profiles you create.
