Confederate History Month--Just a month away

From: cjohnson1861@bellsouth.net

Dear Friends,

April 2008, Confederate History Month is about a month away. Let's make it the best ever by getting proclamations and giving educational programs. Please email me at: cjohnson1861@bellsouth.net with an attachment of your proclamation and your ideas to make April a great Month. Please read the 3 important items below.

1. I have received word that Mayor Tommy Allgood, of Acworth, Georgia will present us a Confederate History Month proclamation, for the 2nd consecutive year, on Thursday, March 20, 2008, at the Acowrth City Hall meeting at 7:00 PM. Those who can make it, I would appreciate the support. Last year there was a good representation from SCV Camp McDonald 1552 and Leonidas Polk Camp.

2. I have sent request for proclamations also to: The City of Marietta, Ga. City of Kennesaw, Georgia, Cobb County, Georgia Commission, City of Atlanta and Fulton County, Georgia Commission. Looking for get one from Cobb County shortly.

3. Please go to www.confederateheritagemonth.com and check the info including stories that can be used in newspaper, radio and TV and Confederate History Month Minutes.

Here below is one of the stories that would be a good lead off for April 1st. Has anyone contacted the media about this? Please help us in sharing your info. Let's make Confederate History Month a national event.

Clay:

I'm glad you posted this.

Otherwise, I never would have known.

Is there a web site link where I can refer folks for more detailed information?

I reckon I can do a GOOGLE search for "Confederate History Month".

I will announce this elsewhere on the Internet in my blog, in Internet discussion forums, and in an e-mail to the individuals in my computer's address book.

I reckon this is also the appropriate time to alert them of President Jefferson Davis' bicentennial.

Thank you.

Confederate Heritage Month

April in Lee County is a very historical one. Yes, it is Confederate Heritage month! A month so proclaimed by the Lee County Commission on April 4th 2006, a Resolution. This is a time to celebrate and honor the veterans of the late War For Southern Independence. Many of the veterans are buried thru ought the area. Buckingham, Alva, New Prospect, and Labelle have many ties to those who put up the good fight and sacrificed life for the defense of their homes and freedom from a vast empire. May we al honor those brave soldiers and sailors who served their country, the Confederate States of America. Many served the U.S. Military before serving in the Confederate States Service. And in the course of history will be remembered as the greatest Americans to ever lead armed forces, i.e. Robert E. Lee (our counties namesake) Stonewall Jackson, Nathan B. Forrest to name a few. This is not just southern history but American history. And just two quick facts-every time you are in downtown Ft Myers you are on a battleground-honor it! And Florida Statute 683.01 (1) (j) proclaims April 26th as Confederate Memorial Day. Look around and see the names of our local counties Hendry (Capt Francis A Hendry C.S.A.), Lee County (Robert E. Lee) and though not named for him buried on Marco Island is Sgt W.T. Collier. Take time to reflect and honor the greatest warriors of America the Southern armies, it our duty as citizens.

Respectfully
