Also the disrespect seen in the media for Confederate soldiers, their monuments and their flags hardly represents the actual feeling on the ground for the memory of the honored dead of Dixie. <br />I also agree that these grave sites are sad, and I have the upmost respect for those who take the time to show respect and love for those buried there -- including you and Mr Banks.

And i don't give a hoot what the modern thinking is in the US today I feel that all the Confederate soldiers deserve every bit as much respect as the Union ones are given .
