Rules of Honor

For those who wish to participate in the Lee-Jackson Day events  please first be sure to follow all applicable laws regarding parking and  public safety.  Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character -R.E. Lee


-  Remain respectful at all times.  These events commemorate the character  and virtues of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson and as  such, we advise participants to act in a manner consistent with the  views held by Lee on honor, service, and duty. "We have but one rule here, and it is that every [participant] be a gentleman" (or lady) - R.E.Lee 


-   The Stonewall Brigade SCV strongly condemns the misuse of any symbol,   especially Confederate ones, for racist or political purposes and we   will vigilantly defend those symbols against such uses.  We believe the   open display of such symbols in the context of their historical   significance and by those who now wish to show their solidarity   preserving our past.  Those who in anyway wish to misuse these symbols   are not welcomed to be a part of our efforts to preserve the legacy of   our Confederate ancestors.
