Confederate Memorial Day (Virginia)

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

We all know that today is a day to remember US troops that have fallen in battle.
In the state of Virginia today is also a day to remember our brave soldiers of the Confederacy.

The marching armies of the past
Along our Southern plains,
Are sleeping now in quiet rest
Beneath the Southern rains.

The bugle call is now in vain
To rouse them from their bed;
To arms they'll never march again--
They are sleeping with the dead.

No more will Shiloh's plains be stained
With blood our heroes shed,
Nor Chancellorsville resound again
To our noble warriors' tread.

For them no more shall reveille
Sound at the break of dawn,
But may their sleep peaceful be
Till God's great judgment morn.

We bow our heads in solemn prayer
For those who wore the gray,
And clasp again their unseen hands
On our Memorial Day.

Facts? Give me your ‘’facts’’. I’ve been waiting all night.

So far you have made a lot of assumptins (sic) on this thread.

Name one.

(Tapping my foot) I’m still waiting.

Give me your ‘’facts’’

You must have been asleep for most of the thread. Go back up, especially to the first page and take a look.

The assumption that everything that someone says that you don’t agree with is naturally BS or hogwash. :-)

*Yawn* I’m too tired to keep playing games with you tonight... maybe some other time... when I need a laugh :-)

[rockrr]

That assumption is entirely yours. I never claimed that.

LOL!
