Steve, your photos are great. You exemplify what I consider to be the Southern pride and heritage that we've been speaking of lately here on the board. Those qualities can be easily seen in your countenance and bearing. When I think of the Confederate Battle Flag, photos such as yours, reflecting the Southern soldier's determination and devotion, are what come to my mind. Can't speak for others, only for myself. Thanks for posting them up.
Terry

Reason: yet another misspelling, added a title
Saw your pictures and looked up to see if my '63 Springfield was in easy reach! My goodness, son! If I saw you to my front, I would KNOW that was a Rebel bent on business.
Excellent, authentic and just dam good.
Sincerely,

You almost look like one of those lean-looking, hard men from the Western armies. As a matter-of-fact, you DO look like one of those men.
You've done an excellent job and you have done well by your ancestors.
Sincerely,
