Scores of people marched with Confederate flags in honour of Confederate Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson to mark Virginia's Lee-Jackson Day at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington, Saturday.
Participants in Civil War-era Confederate uniform fired a salute with their rifles at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, before laying wreaths and then marching through the town carrying the Confederate flag.
One rally participant Keith Hatcher proposed to his girlfirend Susan Lee, and was seen placing a ring on her finger as he clutched a Confederate flag. The first time I ever met her was here, six or seven years ago at one of these events. So this place is special to us. Not only for Confederate reasons but for our personal reasons also, said Hatcher.
Lee-Jackson Day is a state holiday in Virginia to honour the two Confederate leaders of the military and naval forces during the US Civil War. Virginia began observing Lee's birthday on January 19, 1889, with Jackson added to the remembrance events in 1904.

Lee Jackson Day March Through Lexington Va
In an attempt to disrupt the annual Lee-Jackson Day memorial services in Lexington, Virginia, a local anti-Confederate group applied for and received a permit to hold a protest march on the date and time historically set aside for the Lee-Jackson Day parade which typically followed a memorial service at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery.
The Virginia Flaggers immediately filed a request for a parade on Monday, which is the actual MLK holiday, and then offered to switch days with the anti-Confederate protesters since they claimed the purpose of their march was to honor Martin Luther King. They refused the offer, proving their true intentions was to disrupt our memorial services and force those who wished to honor Lee and Jackson out of Lexington on that day.
The City of Lexington refused to issue a parade permit to the Va Flaggers for later in the day on Saturday, January 14th, but we refused to be pushed out. We scheduled a memorial service for 11:00 a.m. and planned a processional immediately following. There was much speculation about what we were planning, and several groups vowed to SHUT IT DOWN.
Little did they know that their attempts to would have the opposite effect. After a memorial service attended by nearly 300 citizens, 200 Confederates stepped out of the cemetery and began a pre-planned march through Lexington, with Stonewall Jackson leading a Confederate Color Guard. Lexington police stopped traffic at every intersection as the line stretched several city blocks.
The result was a solemn march which brought salutes and shouts of thanks. The bagpipe played hauntingly as General Jackson led the procession. When it turned the corner at VMI, a bystander captured this video, and allowed us to share it with you.
Once again, God has taken what was designed for our detriment, and used it for our good. The result was breathtaking.
USA: Virginia honours Confederate civil war generals on Lee-Jackson Day
Dozens of people took part in a civil war reenactment to honour Confederate leaders General Robert E Lee and General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson on Virginia's Lee-Jackson Day at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington, Saturday.
Participants donning civil war-era uniforms and Confederate flags marched to the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery following a civil war reenactment, where they honoured the two Confederate leaders.
We're here to honour General Jackson and, of course, General Lee, who is buried at the other end of town, on Lee-Jackson day, which is a holiday here in the state of Virginia. That's what this is about, we're here to honour these great generals, stated one participant.

Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson (January 21, 1824[1] May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and probably the most well-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, which the general survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public.
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in United States history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname Stonewall), the Second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862.
