Lee-Jackson Day 2026

Yeah, I'd love to see a thread on your project. If you provide a donation link that's something I'd like to support (being both an old cemetarian and great grandson of two Virginia CW vets).

I will try to get that up in the next week. Suppose to get a bunch of snow this weekend so, perhaps after that hits

I watched several of the videos. Glad you posted them. Your audience is skyrocketing. You, and your SCV camp, put in the work during the cancel culture era when prospects for reviving respect for the Confederate soldier seemed hopeless. Thanks to you and your camp for all you have done.

Appreciate the kind words Phil. I routinely reference your comment from our dinner in Lexington years ago.... "I just want it to stop. I don't care who gets credit for it..." I've tried to live up to that myself, and have encouraged everyone I meet in the cause, to do the same. Thanks for your efforts as well.

Btw, I just had lunch at that restaurant last week. It's still delicious

As for our audience, in the last week our posts & live streams on facebook have hit a couple hundred thousand views (I just looked at the stats).

We can't close out the 2026 thread without mentioning the actual mistaken identity of @Diane123 as the new governor of Virginia! Including the follow up apology.

She could have just went with it and y'all could have had unlimited access to all of Virginia's cw sites !!

We couldn't figure out why a camera crew was following her around.

Also, Gib Kerr passed out copies of his book Un-Cancel Robert E. Lee for the attendees and stayed long after his presentation to personally inscribe them. Class act.

I sure wish I could make the trip and attend. I've got some family history in Lexington (my relative and her husband knew Stonewall and attended the same church; they're buried not too far from Jackson). I hope it'll be well attended. I'll be there in spirit.

I do as well. I'm related to many of the men buried in the cemetery
