Heads bowed and eyes closed for one of our own. Truly one of America's finest.

For Honor!

Thanks for the Dixie Ping, Stainless.

'I'm from Dixie.'

Nothing says it more than this. For Honor.

You must do your duty in all things you can never do more, you should never wish to to less.

Robert Lee's minions were the ones killing U. S. troops.

With all due respect would you please shut up and save it for a more appropriate thread? This is not the time nor the place for yet another acrimonious discussion of the southern rebellion. A boy is dead. A family is grieving. Let's concentrate on that, shall we?

Bump.

The regimental motto, Ne Desit Virtus, means "Let not Virtue be lacking."

I'd have phrased that the other way around, more positively, but I suppose they were quoting a source. Not bad as it is.

I had noticed several years ago that my GGrandfather's grave had the incscription, "Co A 18th Alabama" on it.

I did some research and learned he joined at Elba, Alabama although he lived in Florida, right on the Florida/Alabama line. He lost two brothers at Chicamauga and another somewhere in Tennessee.

Although Elba is not the largest town in Coffee County, it is the County seat.
