7 Comments on Today is Confederate Memorial Day. April 26 is a Legal Holiday in Florida.
Thanks for sharing Confederate Memorial Day photos. My relatives came to Virginia during the Revolutionary War.
Awww Geez. Why can't Colorado observe this holiday. These photos are just so cool. I love the one with all the older gentlemen standing in front of the flag.
Great history lesson Fred, and thanks for sharing the photos-Thanks!
Have an AWESOME day!
Fred I wasn't aware that Today is Confederate Memorial Day. April 26 is a Legal Holiday in Florida. I'll have to ask my Alabama wife if she is aware of this holiday in her neck of the woods. Great history and photos my friend!
Edward and Celia, as you know, the westernmost battle of the Civil War was at Picacho Peak just north of Tucson, in 1862.

Belinda, that photo is from the Alabama Department of Archives and History. It is the last known Reunion of Confederate Veterans at the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama. The photo was entered into the Alabama Archives in 1944.
Standing, left to right: General William Banks of Houston, Texas; General W. W. Alexander of Rockhill, South Carolina; General J. D. Ford of Marshall, Texas; General T. H. Dowling of Atlanta, Georgia; General James W. Moore of Selma, Alabama; Colonel W. H. Culpepper of Atlanta, Georgia; and General W. M. Buck of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Seated in front is Dr. R. A. Gwynne of Birmingham, Alabama.

Michael, thank you. It is an awesome day!

John, Alabama originally celebrated Confederate Memorial Day on April 26th, but they moved it to the 4th monday of April. They take a true holiday - State Offices are closed for the long weekend. Alabama declares April to be Confederate Memorial MONTH.
BTW, read my comment to Belinda above... the Veterans in the B&W photo are on the Capitol steps in Montgomery, Alabama.

Florida has a long list of interesting legal holidays. Guess it is politically incorrect to dare close a government building or school to celebrate them anymore.
Fred, thanks for sharing the history and photographs of Florida, I thought it was" bring your son and daughter to work day". It is great to learn something new everyday.
