I think the Garden Of American Heroes is a great idea. However, I am disappointed that the many great Southern generals/soldiers were left out. They were as American as any one of us. They difference is that many Southerners felt the US lost it’s way regarding the Constitution. Southerners viewed themselves as Patriots as well. The Civil War narrative in academia was hijacked in the 1960’s.
That’s a fight for another day though. I am just going to enjoy the winning, winning, winning for now.
