Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day is a day which, originally, was designed to honor Union servicemen who had died during the War To Prevent Southern Independence.  Several years later Confederate States of America war dead were included in the observation.

Texas has (until recently) observed 19 January as our date for such affairs.  We call it Confederate Heroes Day.  Now, there is a different federal holiday celebrated at that time and "CHD" has fallen into disuse in Texas.  Shame on us.

This video is in memory of the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Home Guard of the Confederate States who fought, and in many cases died, far from home to preserve Liberty and their God Given Rights.

Thanks for that, ANM! 'Tis fitting for OUR Memorial Day! I'm pretty sure the group singing this old Scots-Irish favorite, 'The Parting Glass', is The High Kings.

Coincidentally, Scotland is poised to throw off approximately 1,000 years of English rule and do it without firing a shot. So William Wallace will finally rest in peace!

As for me, I am the aging, long-haired, wild-eyed Missouri Southern partisan who goes by the nom de guerre of:

Thanks, Dutchy. When all others forget, we'll remember.
