From the May 2, 2017 91.3 WHQR News by Vince Winkel.
Confederate Memorial Day in a state holiday in North Carolina and observed on May 10. Six other Southern states also observe it. A new interpretive marker was dedicated by the Confederate Monument on Battle Acre.
During the Saturday ceremony the Christian hymn "How Firm a Foundation" was sung. This was Robert E. Lee's favorite hymn and sung at his funeral.
Dozens off descendants of Confederate soldiers were at Battle Acre for the ceremony.
The Confederate monument was built by the United Daughters of the Confederacy and dedicated June 2, 1932.
Sadly, however, in these days of all this Confederate statue desecration, how long will it be before one of those folks will have their feelings offended and demand it be taken down?
