Hate to post and run, but I am so excited. I got to meet Nelson Winbush today and shake his hand! He told me all about his grandaddy's story and let me touch the battle flag that draped his coffin.
He was in a small tent at the Battle of Narcoossee Mill (Southern victory yee-haw!) greeting folks with a firm hand shake and a friendly smile. He showed me various pictures of the reunions his grandaddy attended and his brothers in arms with which he served. He was the last of 3 from his company when the Lord called him home.
It was an honor to finally meet Mr. Winbush and hear his story. Please meet him if you ever get the chance!

INTERESTING compatriot in arms!
i first met Nelson in 1986, at the 100th reunion of the SCV in Richmond.
i have to tell you a funny story ON Nelson. when i met him, i was escorting my DAUGHTER, who was a debutante that year. he was heard to say:"that guy is with a girl young enough to be his daughter."
i said, "she IS my daughter! would you care to meet her????"
he then said, " UH, WELL----you don't look old enough to have a daughter that age."
at THAT, i cracked up laughing. so did she.

The civil rights whores and their politically correct sycophants can't deal with the cognitive dissonance of black Confederates.
