I am so glad you posted this. I was going to. I love Robert E. Lee. He was a man of integrity, honor, and decency. Now don't forget (and I know you won't) that there is another birthday on Sunday. Stonewall Jackson born January 21, 1824.

I heard a story on TV about the end of the Civil War. In a church in Richmond, one Sunday morning, a newly freed black man was the first to approach the alter and kneel to take communion. The white congregation froze in horror. It had not happened before. Robert E. Lee was the first white person to kneel beside the black man to take communion. The rest of the congregation followed.
I will never be convinced that the cause for which he fought was just, but he fought for it honorably, and ably, and when it was over, for him, it was over.

He graduated from West Point in 1829, second in his class and without a single demerit, a record that still stands today. Amazing.
