Confederate Memorial Service.

Several states have a designated annual date for a Confederate Memorial Day. Not Louisiana. But the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans held a Confederate Memorial Service yesterday. It was held at a cemetery across the highway from where I eat breakfast on Saturday mornings in the old Unionville Store. Several Confederate Veterans are buried in the cemetery.

There were speeches, prayers, musket and canon salutes, and Taps was played. It was an impressive ceremony on a 94 degree afternoon.
