To the "Stonewall"

Last summer, a friend of mine introduced me to G&G movie and from there I fell in love with Thomas Jonathan Jackson. He is a great example of a man of faith, how to fear the L-rd, and of how to walk the straight and narrow way. Though by no means was Jackson free of faults, as none of us are, he was yet a person of humility and grace with genuine faith.

An officer who served with Jackson stated simply:

"No General made fewer mistakes. No general so persistently outwitted his opponents. No general better understood the use of ground or value of time. No general was more highly endowed with courage,. both physical and moral, and none ever secured to a greater degree the trust and affection of his troops. And yet, so upright was his life, so profound his faith, so exquisite his tenderness, that Jackson's many victories are almost his least claim to be ranked amongst the world's true heroes."

"When in thine inscrutable decree it was ordained that the Confederacy should fail, it became necessary for thee to remove thy servant Stonewall Jackson."
