No music is provided....hum the bars of Dixie slowly
and passionately...this will produce
a feeling of Pride and hopefully you will begin to
feel Southern Pride in your heart!

| Oh!
should we reach that glorious place where waits a sparklin' crown,
For everyone who for the right his soldier life lay down. God grant
to us the privilege upon that happy day,

Before I go to far in my family's involvement in the War, I would like to say that to the left is one of the Mississippi Battle Flags of the CSA . Even today, almost 140 years ago, I still feel proud of it and what it stood for--COURAGE. |

To the
left, is the Mississippi State seal.
On January 21, 1861, United States senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi went before the Senate to say his farewell. Mississippi had seceded from the United States on January 9, 1861 |

January 21, 1861 'an excerpt' I rise, Mr President, for the purpose of announcing to the Senate that I have satisfactory evidence that the state of Mississippi, by a solemn ordinance of her people in convention assembled, has declared her separation from the United States. Under these circumstances, of course, my functions are terminated here. |
I do believe in "Heritage NOT hate"
| Although the phrase I am afraid is used with abandon and without much thought. Reflecting on this I wish it to be known that when I utter these words I mean My Heritage is my pride, but Hate is NOT part of it and I will not use the War or any other act of aggression as a means to justify hate toward anyone. |
