Also, we need to get an update on everyone's  postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Please take this to heart because without our continued support of our ancestors; our grandchildren will never know the truth.

[Sherman's] line of march can be traced by the lurid light of burning houses, and in more than one household there is now an agony far more bitter than that of death.
