| Confederate Heroes Day. In 1973, the Texas legislature combined the previously official state holidays of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis' birthdays into a single "Confederate Heroes Day" to honor all who had served the Southern Cause. In some years, this date may coincide with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. State offices are partially staffed in recognition of this day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_Memorial_Day This is the Confederate Memorial Park in Anderson, Texas http://www.civilwaralbum.com/misc4/anderson_tx1.htm |
