Storied 29th Infantry Patch Possibly on Chopping Block Due to Confederate Ties

Now, Russell expressed his thoughts, just as you did. The difference between the two responses is that you just had to go that extra unneeded step and insult him. Really? He is entitled to his thoughts just as you are. Why the attack? Because his thought is different than yours?

Interesting take on the 116th. May I suggest some reading? The Life and Campaigns of Lt. General Thomas J. Jackson by R.L. Dabney, A Defense of Virginia and the South by R.L. Dabney, Black & Tan by Douglas Wilson, All Things for Good by J. Steven Wilkins, Christ in the Camp by J. William Jones, The Union War by Gary Gallagher.

We don’t have a single general today with the dignity, courage, and humility of Jackson. A proper study of the man would leave no one offended. The regiment should have no other namesake. Moreover I’m proud to have been in the same Virginia militia that my 3rd and 4th generation great-grandfathers honorably served in under Jackson’s command.
