"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish.”

Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, UCV Commander

Reports From Leadership…

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather. Our October meeting went well! We had a tomb stone and vandalism cleanup demonstration, where we cleaned a UDC marker and a stone in Bethesda cemetery. No better way to spend Halloween than in a cemetery! Tom Meadows is the head of the Confederate Emergency Response Team and was our guest speaker. If you missed it don't worry, we will be implementing these techniques in our area in the new year. Remember our Christmas supper tickets are for sale. Contact Josh for more information

God bless,  Jordy Barnette

General Jubal Early

Jubal Anderson Early, graduated 18th in a class of 50 from the United States Military Academy in 1837.  He spent his early military career fighting Seminole American Indians in the Florida region, and resigned soon thereafter.  Early, a successful lawyer, served in the Virginia House of Delegates before being interrupted by the Mexican War where he served as a major of Virginia volunteers. Prior to the Civil War, he was passionately opposed to secession and even voted against it, but later accepted orders as Colonel of the 24th Virginia Infantry.  Following his infantry’s performance at First Manassas, Early was promoted to Brigadier General.  He fought in most of the major battles in the Eastern Theater, including the Seven Days Battles, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville.  He received promotion to major general on January 17, 1863.  

Early’s service was important during the Salem Church and the Gettysburg campaigns.  At the battle of the Wilderness, Early briefly commanded the Corps of A.P. Hill, and received a promotion to lieutenant general on May 31, 1864 for his actions.  He also served during the battles at Spotsylvania Court House, as well as Cold Harbor, where he replaced Ewell. Early took command of the 2nd Corps after General Ewell’s temporary retirement, where he proved victorious over Union General Hunter in the Shenandoah Valley and Wallace at Monocacy.  Early stood before the gates of Washington on July 11, 1864, but the arrival of Union reinforcements prevented Early from attacking the Union capital.  The rest of 1864, however, would not end as well as it started.  In September of that year he was defeated by Sheridan at Winchester and Fisher’s Hill.   Although he tried one final surprise attack against Sheridan at the battle of Cedar Creek, his men were repelled.  His command was dispersed by General Custer in March of 1865 in Waynesboro, Virginia.  Early, or “Old Jube” to his men, fled to Mexico in disguise after the war, but returned later at the end of his life.  Early was laid to rest in Lynchburg, Virginia in March of 1894.

Compatriots, Happy November to all! I hope this newsletter finds you in good health! The cooler months are

upon us and I hope everyone is doing their best to take care of themselves and their loved ones in such dark and difficult times. Hopefully the sun will come out after the election and it will be “morning again in America”!

I won’t expand on any thing that has already been discussed in the newsletter, but I would like to help us all focus on the time of year we are entering. Let us all take the time to observe Veterans Days and appreciate the service and ongoing sacrifice that many have taken upon themselves to protect the nation. Also, we need to be in a thankful mood as we move forward throughout the month as Thanksgiving approaches. Often times we are bogged down by the commercialism and consumerism that takes over the season. While we may not agree with things that are going on in the nation, we can always be thankful that God is still on the throne! We have our family and friends and we have the legacy of the greatest fighting force to ever defend their homes, the Confederate soldier, to be thankful for! Thankful we all should be during this time of year!

Your Servant to the Cause,
