Rest in peace, sir.
Who is Marse Robert?
Rest in peace, sir.
1. General Lee's birthday.
2. Yesterday, my daughter's AP American History class discussed the surrender at Appomattox, and the noble and honorable conduct of the General (as well as his opponent) and the love Lee's troops had for him. She exclaimed, "What a GOOD man!" What could I do but agree?
3. Last night, she had her interview with Washington & Lee.
(Prophetic? I sure hope so.)
Lee's tomb in the Lee Chapel on campus
Traveller is buried just outside the consecrated ground.
Lee's office, preserved as he left it for the last time.
Happy Birthday, Bobby Lee. My daddy named me after you, and I've named my daughter after you as well.
A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day.
As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing (ready) to jump.
She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump, think of your dear mother and father."
He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."
She said, "Well, think of your wife and children."
He replied, "I'm not married and I dont have any kids."
She said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee."
He replied, ''Who's Robert E. Lee?''
She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee."
Thanks for the remembrance of Robert E Lee. May his memory be eternal!
God Bless Marse Robert...
States rights were worth fighting for. Imagine what this country would be like, not if the Confederacy had won, but if the individual states had the power (and freedoms)that they enjoyed before the war.
