Confederate Memorial Day after 150 Years
- By Dr. Terry Lee Rude
The following message was presented to about 200 attendees of the Confederate Memorial Day Service at Springwood Cemetery in Greenville, South Carolina, Sunday, May 1, 2011.

The official date is May 10 in commemoration of May 10, 1863, the day Stonewall Jackson died, but we pick a convenient Sunday near the 10th. Just a few days prior to that Sunday some SCV members were alarmed by things they read in The Greenville News.
