…Where is the parties, where is the day off, where is the patriotism for the Confederiacy? Oh wait, we lost the war so that is all gone. Now it’s “what could have been”.

Confederate Memorial Day is a state holiday in some states in the United States. It gives people a chance to honor and remember the Confederate soldiers who died or were wounded during the American Civil War during the 1860s.

Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will celebrate the day on April 28, 2014! YAY…HAPPY CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY!

Something most don’t know:

“The Medal of Honor”, created by Congress during the Civil War as America’s highest military decoration for valor, was never meant for Americans who fought for the South. They were the enemy, after all.

But there’s a Confederate Medal of Honor, little known yet highly prized, that the Sons of Confederate Veterans bestows on those whose bravery in battle can be proven to the private group’s satisfaction.

The silver-and-bronze medal is a 10-pointed star bearing the Great Seal of the Confederate States and the words, “Honor. Duty. Valor. Devotion.”

The Sons of Confederate Veterans has award 50 since 1977, way more strick guidelines than normal.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis signed a law in 1862 authorizing medals for courage on the battlefield, but none was issued.
