Please post this to the list. I think it would be an encouragement to "our" people who fight these heritage battles every day. I realize I'm over 2 years late getting this on, but I consider it GOOD NEWS, even late.
On August 21, 2010 the Pvt. Gibeon Jefferson Sullivan Chapter 2662, United Daughters of the Confederacy dedicated a NEW Confederate Monument at the courthouse in Chatom, Washington County, Alabama. This is the first and ONLY CSA MONUMENT in Washington County. We had people there from 9 counties in Alabama and some Mississippians. NEVER GIVE UP. IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO RAISE MONUMENTS TO OUR BELOVED VETERANS. We used the following text on the front which is taken (I believe) from the CSA Monument in Columbia, SC: For these were men whom power could not corrupt; whom death could not terrify; whom defeat could not dishonor.
