It is hard to believe that June 1, 2010 is here. I hope that each of you had a fun and safe Memorial weekend. Yesterday I walked through Winchester’s Stonewall Cemetery and the nearby National Cemetery. Only a narrow road [Woodstock Lane] separates these two places where thousands of soldiers – the Blue and the Gray – lay forever. Many of these men are known but to God. Some would say that these brave men from both armies lay forever separated by more than just a few yards and they would be correct. This of course is why angry words in 1860 -1861 turned to angry actions. After some sad reflection the words on one of the monuments seemed very appropriate:

           “These honored remains: Destiny’s debris when diplomacy fails.”

This coming Sunday, June 6 will be the 144^th annual Confederate Memorial Day commemoration in the Stonewall Cemetery here beginning at 2 pm. If you are in the area may I invite you to attend the ceremony and then stroll amongst the stone sentinels on both the Confederate and Union sides of the road. A true history lesson awaits your visit.
