Ok I'm done with being off topic now I promise.
I don't think anyone is proud a civil war happened. They may be proud to have family members who 'preserved the union' or 'defended their homeland'. The other options were 'stay with my family', 'desertion' and 'conscientious objector'. I think it's more honoring sacrifices made, and remembering history, which is helpful in preventing history from repeating itself.
