Daughters of the Confederacy

My daughter, Vikki, and I both belong to the "Virginia Clay Clopton" Chapter of the "Daughters of the Confederacy". Vikki has also enrolled her children so they are members of the group called "Children of the Confederacy". Vikki and I enjoy the luncheons with the "Southern Bells" at the Huntsville Country Club and recently we were able to participate in one of the many activities the chapter gets involved in. On Pearl Harbour Remembrance Day, December 7th, 2008, we were able to participate in a Grave Marking of two confederate soldiers that are not in the section of the unknown soldiers. As a matter of fact, my granddaughter, Mattie Grace, was asked to place the flags on the graves of the soldiers we were there to honor. And yes, of course that was a true honor for her to be a part of this ceremony. As my mother watched from the car, Vikki, Mattie and I walked with the group to the graves together. Four generations of "Daughters of the Confederacy". It was very cold yet heart warming at the same time to remember the soldiers that fought for our southern states.

We do not refer to the war as the "Civil War",

as there was nothing civil about it!

God Bless Our Soldiers/Sailors/Air Force/Marines & all others that Protect Our Country
