From
The Patriot to acknowledge the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson...
INSIGHT
“Let each man resolve to be victorious, and that the right of
self-government, liberty, and peace shall find him a defender.” —Robert E. Lee
“[M]y religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God
has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be
always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should
live, and then all would be equally brave.” —Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson
Editor’s Note: Today we take a moment to remember the birth
anniversaries of Robert E. Lee (19 January) and Stonewall Jackson (21 January).
These soldiers were great men of faith who gave their all (Jackson his life) for
the cause of freedom and states’ rights, which we at The Patriot hold
so dear. Many may question our decision to honor men of the Confederate States
of America, but we encourage those readers to consider our correction of the
record. The honor we give these men has its roots in the founding of this
great nation.
