Lee-Jackson Day coming up

This post by the Virginia Flaggers has some details:

“Once again this year, The Virginia Flaggers will join the Stonewall Brigade in two full days of commemorations and events in Lexington, Virginia, and encourage ALL Southern heritage supporters to attend! It is more important than ever that we make a HUGE showing and show the town of Lexington, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the entire country that we don’t need the permission or approval of ANY government entity to do what is our duty and responsibility.
We will kick things off Friday, January 17th at 10:00 am, and finish up with supper Saturday night, and invite you to join us for the full two days, or at any point when you can or wish to attend.”

The Confederate Cleaner Facebook page

I recently found a cool Facebook page called The Confederate Cleaner. The gentleman who runs the page cleans the graves of Confederate soldiers, shares their stories and photos of their graves, and posts updates about his travels. This is such a cool way to honor the brave soldiers who sacrificed everything for what they believed in. Here’s a sample from a recent update:

“The trip to Neshoba County to treat one of my follower’s ancestor was a complete success. The Ocobla Cemetery actually has two Southern soldiers buried there so we went on and cleaned the other one as well. Still having some time before heading home, we decided to locate the Confederate monument so I could snap a few pictures.”
