Dear Ms. Lunelle,
On Thursday afternoon February 13, 2025 my babies would come to my door and, after prayer, Malik would say:
"...Mr. HK we have an agreement amongst us that Facebook would deem you a dangerous person for several reasons:
You were not the only person in that Honor Guard in the Christmas Parade in Zephyrhills, Florida. However, you were a Black man who had the nerve and audacity to don that uniform of the Southern Soldier with his Colors in hand, go in amongst the people garnering hugs, kisses, handshakes, pats on the back, Rebel Yells from even the people on the Viewing Stand who called out.."that's our HK Edgerton!"
And, Sir, for those bigoted Southern Haters of Facebook, you are a clear danger to the lies that they and people who visit their page tell about the South, its heritage and its people.
And please comment on DOGE Mr. HK.”
I would tell them that what DOGE is finding out is the propensity to stealing is humongous in the Government arena. And that none of this is new or shocking to those of us who were born in the former Confederate States of America. The only difference is that our ancestors took the legal course of secession as their remedy.
They had seen and had enough. That remedy or course of action is no longer available for the American people. The legal right to do so was legislated after 1865.
If Hegseth was as brave and noble as we of the South thought he was, then he shouldn't waffle about putting the names of our ancestors back in the place of honor and permanency intended by his predecessors and also return the New South Reconciliation Memorial Cenotaph Shrine in Arlington National Cemetery. Picking a veteran from the north, no matter his service, is not in the spirit of reconciliation that was the genesis of the name of Fort Bragg and is a slap in the face to the Southern people.
My mom taught her children that the truth is the light of the world, and like most Southerners we want President Trump to succeed, yet, like those ladies who stood with President McKinley and fulfilled his dream of a Reconciliation Memorial at Arlington, we also have our doubts as we watch a United States Congress, a Department of Defense turning a blind eye as a known disgraced liar (Elizabeth Warren) from the Senate violated Constitutional Law (10th Amendment) to introduce a Corruption of Blood Bill of Attainder to smear the good names of Robert E. Lee and those in his service and to tear down a Shrine of forgiveness that only the Almighty God and the Southern people would find the Grace to do.
And even though we in the South applaud President Trump, we shall never applaud or forgive Hegseth for selling our ancestors short, and never shall we turn our backs on what we believe ..."The South Was Right;" there were no traitors or insurrectionists who made a righteous Stand in the War for Southern Independence!
God bless you!
Your brother,
HK
