Re: Juneteenth
In Response To: Re: Juneteenth ()

Bob,
We do the same thing at Beauvoir, decorating the graves that are there and the Tomb of The Unknown Confederate soldier. I have posted several pictures to the SHAPE website of the event. That also brings to mind something else, not one penny of federal money goes to the care and maintenance of Confederate graves.

I know the issue is not whether or not the graves are decorated; it is whether or not it is done on a federally recognized veterans day. I understand ya'll do it on Confederate Memorial day, which is not a federally recognized day. That is the difference. My point again is Junteenth is a black holiday, Confederate Memorial Day celebrates all races, which deserves recognition more?
