Southwest, Georgia - Confederate Memorial Day Service - Albany - April 26, 9:30 AM

April is Confederate History and Heritage Month. The Annual Southwest Georgia Confederate Memorial Service will be held at Confederate Memorial Park on Hwy. 91 Philema Rd. 1/2 mile past Chehaw Park on Saturday April 26. The service begins at 9:30 AM with a musical tribute to the Confederate States of America and Confederate Heroes followed by a ceremony that includes speakers, reenactors, and musket and cannon salutes. Special recognition will be given to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, as 2008 is the year of his 200th birthday.

The event is hosted by the Southwest Georgia camps and chapters of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) and United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC).

The Confederate States of America was a classical civilization with colleges and universities, art and literature, world class a architecture, politics, and a fine military. It deserves to be remembered, honored, respected, and studied just as the classical civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome are.

The public is cordially invited to join SCV and UDC for this memorial service and tribute to Southern and Confederate Heroes who fought for the Cause of Southern Independence, Limited Constitutional Federal Government, States Rights, Resistance to Government Tyranny, and Christian values and principles. The Confederate States of America and the Confederate Flag represent the values and principles of the original U.S. Betsy Ross Flag and America's foundi ng fathers who were primarily Southern gentlemen from Virginia. The Constitution and Bill of Rights adopted by the Confederate States of America was an improved version of the U.S. Constitution.
