Texas has rolled over and buried its Southern Heritage all along. George W. Bush as governor removed plaques that were on the walls of the Capitol building in Texas that were dedicated to the Confederate dead from Texas. Our country is being destroyed by illegal aliens and a vocal minority that most have little or no education with respect to history.

I hope my Great Grandfather isn't seeing this from his home in Heaven. He is part of that heritage that is being buried.

He was a Confederate cavalry soldier, and was severely wounded during the last week of the war in a skirmish with Federal troops near Brownsville. The rifle ball in his hip couldn't be removed by the Federal army doctors without killing him, and it remained lodged in his hip joint until he died 49 years later.

I don't know how he would feel if he could see what's happening in the state he fought for, but if he could I seriously doubt he would like like what he's seeing. He was too poor to own slaves, so he can't be blamed for what's going on now days
