STATEMENT OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BOLLING ON LEE-JACKSON DAY
Friday, January 16, 2009
Richmond - Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today issued the following statement in recognition of Lee-Jackson Day in Virginia.
"More so than any other state, Virginia's history is America's history. Today, we pause to recognize the lives of two Virginians who helped write the story of both our Commonwealth and our nation. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson lived during a turbulent time in Virginia. They were defining figures of a generation for both their roles in history and their exceptional personal character. They were leaders of men. They were renowned generals and supreme tacticians. They were the epitome of honor, duty and service. They were men of steadfast principle and tireless faith. I hope all Virginians will join me today in honoring the lives and memory of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson."
