Happy Lee-Jackson Day!

[Doofus]

For those of y'all who are unfamiliar with our unique holiday...

Generals Rebert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson were both Virginians, born January 19th and 21st, respectively. Since the early 1900's, Virginia has celebrated their birthdays togather as a state holiday, which was the third Monday in November. When MLK day was started by President Reagan, the two holidays were combined, until 2000, when our native sons were given their own day, the second Friday in January.

Now we (State employees) get a long, 4-day weekend!

Yipee!:blob:

So Happy Lee-Jackson Day!

I don't like the outcome of his military tactics but we're related to Lee on my mom's side as well as the Carter family. I know, nothing to be proud of...
