A Toast to the South
July 3 2005

Posted on 07/03/2005 9:21:19 PM PDT by injin

On this day of July the 3rd in 1863 the Army of Northern Virginia left the field at Gettysburg PA , broken . On this same day CSA forces at Vicksburg in Mississippi surrendered after a long and difficult siege . To all the brave men that died on this day in 1863 , on both sides of North and South , I offer a toast ,and a heartfelt thanks for their sacrifice . You are not forgotten.

"But when we pass away, the impartial historian will render a true verdict, and a history will then be written in justification and vindication of those brave and noble boys who gave their all in fighting the battles of their homes, their country, and their God.".... we have no regrets for what we did, but we mourn the loss of so many brave and gallant men who perished on the field of battle and honor, I now bid you an affectionate adieu.
