The month of April has a very special holiday that only a few still remember to honor. 

It is Confederate Memorial Day April 26th and I choose to honor it with this web site.

 




                                                         
                            UNDYING SPIRIT
                                                               BY: KATHRYN M. RIDLEHOOVER
                              How proudly they rode out to face the breaking of  that day,
                                each young lad in the shimmering gold and the stolid grey. 
                                                    Their faces were full of hope. 
                                                         Their hearts full of love.
                                                   Knowing that Lorraine was safe
                                                     and that God was up above.
                                                  Some had left their furrows unturned.
                                                             Their cattle ran astray. 
                                                             They had gone to war
                                                      to bring back the glory of that day. 
                                                           As they charged over the hill,
                                                               their spirit on that morn,
                                                               gave hope to the weary
                                                              and honor to the unborn.


                            

I can not let radicals of today, both white and black, stain this  hallowed symbol of my forefathers.  The Confederate Battle Flag represents those who gave their lives, bodies and minds for the rights of states to govern their people.  The state's right to govern itself was not white surpremacy nor was it to keep slavery as many would have you believe.  
 
THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG IS NOT A SYMBOL OF HATE OR BIGOTRY.  THIS FLAG OF MY HERITAGE IS NOT SOMETHING ON WHICH TO SPIT  OR CURSE OR TO HIDE BEHIND. BUT IT IS TO BE HONORED AND CHERISHED.   THIS FLAG REPRESENTS PART OF THE HISTORY OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF THAT TIME AND ERA. 
 
LET THOSE OF US WHO CONSIDER THIS FLAG A SYMBOL  OF OUR LOVE FOR THE
SOUTHERN SPIRIT AND THE PEOPLES OF THE SOUTH  CELEBRATE OUR HERITAGE WITHOUT MALICE ON APRIL 26TH.


LET US SHOW THE WORLD THAT THE SOUTHERN SPIRIT IS UNDYING ... SEND THIS URL TO ALL KINDRED SPIRITS.
