approved Senate Bill No. 27, signed by Governor Sonny Perdue,
officially designating April permanently as Confederate History
and Heritage Month. See proclamation at:

Who will follow Georgia’s lead?
Save
http://confederatehistorymonth.com and
http://confederateheritagemonth.com on your computer of
favorite places. It is full speed ahead for Confederate History
Month 2010. We ask for God’s guidance and will come together
during the month of April in educating 50 million people or more
the truth of the Confederate men and women of the Old South who
stood for States Rights and freedom and gave us our wonderful
Southern Heritage. They stood tall just like their ancestors who
fought for American freedom and independence in 1776.
It is my great pleasure to serve National
SCV Commander Charles McMichael and Georgia Division SCV Commander
Jack Bridwell as Chairman of the 2010, Confederate History and
Heritage Month committee for the Sons of Confederate Veterans.. I
have asked the following to again serve on this our very important
committee: Commander Jack Bridwell and Commander Chuck McMichael
as advisors, Co-Chairman Mike Crane, Billy Bearden, Jeff Davis,
John Black, James King and Fred Wilhite. Your committee needs your
help and needs to hear from you all.
You
are all appointed as Honorary Ambassadors of Good Will to promote
Confederate History Month throughout the USA. Please spread the
good news at SCV, UDC, American Legion, VFW, DAR, SAR and other
Civic, Historical and Patriotic groups meetings.

Confederacy, Daughters of the American Revolution and Order of
Confederate Rose please help us get the good word out!

Month minutes on CHHM page that you may use for newspaper, radio

Shall we make our goal this year for 1,000
proclamations from city, county and governors—Nationwide? I have

March with a proclamation.
Let’s us all work to make
