The 204th anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee will be in three days, on January 19th. Perhaps some of us will pause then to remember him. As noted in the linked article,

To compare General Lee with any living person of note would be an exercise in futility. He was a man perhaps unique to his time, no politician, and the world in which General Lee lived was vastly different from the world in which we now live. Any comparison would be as pointless as it would be futile. Still, General Lee’s sense of honor and its necessary adjunct, integrity, stand out as remarkable, and both qualities are sadly missing from many of those who now strut on the world stage. We should perhaps spend a moment to reflect on the character of General Lee in evaluating those who now have become our leaders; I am afraid that nearly all of them would suffer from the comparison.

Thanks for the link, was informative. We could use a few General Lee’s in this day and age that’s for certain.
