In Texas this holiday is celebrated on General Lee's birthday.
A reminder to the detractors..... Of how respected and loved the General was---
When the General surrendered and left the courthouse. The union let him keep his weapons and all Troops Saluted as he mounted his horse and rode off.

Grant AND the union soldiers respected this great man immensely. These men knew of his integrity and loyalty. This was heart felt! Not sympathy.
They saluted the MAN because they knew of his greatness!
In todays time. We celebrate Southern values and heritage! Which is very different than the industrialized asphalt cities. We dont care about race. In fact many people of all races are considered and included in the true Southern values we live!
Race plays no part in our ways of life!
Anyways... A belated Happy Confederate heroes day to all!
