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.

Dear Friends,

Have you read my first post on Confederate History Month in April?

Let's go after city, county and state proclamations in February. In March let's write the news media, TV, Radio and Newspapers, and ask them what they are planning for April---Confederate History Month. I will offer a form letter to the media later.

We have created 20 stories that could be used on TV, Radio and Newspapers. See list below, please copy and use where ever they will be helpful.
