What a moving service to remember our Confederate Soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil War.  From the melancholy of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace ... to the singing of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" by nearly 200 in attendance ... to the presentation of Memorial Wreaths ... to the thundering out by Ernest Miles to remember our Heritage and stand Proud ... to the roar of the cannons ... this was a day to remember ... and a most delightful service to share with fellow neighbors who sincerely love those who served for our freedom and our rights as Americans.

Here you will find the order of the service and a photo album of the events of the afternoon.  If you would like to have a copy of these pictures emailed to you - please feel free to send an email to the address at the bottom of this page.
