I am always leery of the motivations of one who volunteers for something and then feels compelled to mention his volunteering as means of attention.

An interesting observation to offer from lef -excuse me, - RIGHT field and apropos of nothing, as usual.

I mentioned the volunteering aspect in reference to President-elect Obama's call for people to spend today honoring Martin Luther King by volunteering in their community today. I would also note that neither he nor I offered any suggestions or limitations on what that volunteer opportunity might entail, so if feel free to exercise your imagination. Oh, and so as not to offend anyone don't mention it here! Just keep your light underneath that basket.

The only volunteering I would do on Confederate "Heroes" Day is join Union forces to crush another treasonous attempt at Rebellion.

It used to be lee-Jackson day as well as mlk day in Va. Has the title expanded or changed to Confederate heroes day? Not aware of it and always looking to learn new things.

If I am not mistaken "Confederate Heroes Day" is only recognized in Texas by that name. I could be wrong.

The third Monday is in January is Confederate Heroes Day

I see this day as a day to honor all Confederate States Heroes military and civilian who exercised their right and duty to throw off a tyrannical government which enforced its will through coercion. Fighting and supporting
those who fought for their Independence in America's second war for independence.

Americas second war for independence however was lost when the Armies of the Confederate States surrendered to the Federal Army between April and June 1865 The Cause for Independence was thus ground beneath the tyrant’s heals for their demands of justice. The Union as established by our forefathers ceased to exist and the government as originally organized was and is no longer administered in purity and truth.

In Virginia I think it went from Lee-Jackson-King Day to straight up MLK Day in 2000. I kind of liked the irony and sense of historical movement in L/J/MLK Day, but can't say I mind the current designation.

As for "Confederate Heroes Day", at least it leaves us 364 other days on which to celebrate the just plain regular guys on both sides. But I hope the celebrants still make time at some other point in the year to celebrate the preacher who also gave his life for his country.
