Jan 19 is not only Marse Roberts birthday but also a state recognized Texas holiday named Confederate Heroes Day.
Many of us have great great greats who went off to war to fight for Texas , many never to return. The real heroes ( of ALL wars) are the simple farm or city boys who , like most soldiers of all sides in most wars, knew very little of the issues or great dramas behind the conflict but simply answered the call to arms to defend their homeland. Many died in far away strange states or in the POW extermination camps scattered in a foreign land. We honor their patriotism and sacrifices and strive to keep their memories alive.
God Bless Texas
God Save the South
