Robert E. Lee Day

[Ronny Koch]

Robert E. Lee day is an unofficial Southern holiday observed on
January 19 of each year. The day is a day of remembrance and
celebration. Remembrance of a man who gave his utmost for a
cause, and put duty, faith, and service above all else. Robert
E. Lee day is a day that all Southerners say, "Thank you,
General, for all you did." January 19 was Robert E. Lee's
Birthday.

As a Southerner -- who had ancestors that died in the Civil War -- I have never had any
use for Lee. After all -- anybody could lose a war. Did he ever do anything else ?
