One hell of a man, one hell of an American, and he should still be looked up to.
He is, by me, for sure.
I love the General to. He followed his conscience even though it cost him dearly. He was respected by the Union Army many of whom served under him before the conflict or attended West Point when he was commandant. He freed his family’s slaves well before the war, was generous in victory and gracious in defeat. He was also humble, something lacking in today’s leaders. He was and always will be one of my hero’s. Happy Birthday General Lee and may your memory live forever
