"The Greatest Southern Heritage Celebration In Texas"
|
|
Confederate Heroes Day is a Texas State Holiday created by Chapter 221, Senate Bill 60, of the 63rd Texas Legislature.
Approved June 1, 1973 and Effective August 27, 1973,
this bill deleted June 3rd as a holiday for Jefferson Davis' birthday and combined it with Robert E. Lee's Birthday, January 19th. It is the last holiday in the State of Texas
dedicated to Confederate Veterans. We as "Sons of Confederate Veterans" are dedicate to the preservation of this holiday, the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name,
the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which we love also, and those ideals which
made him glorious. We celebrate this day in remembrance of those gallant individuals who bravely defended their families and their homeland in the war for southern independence.
