Eric two cigars, which I won't see him probably till

But Eric cooked me up and helped me out. On
the Mississippi level, we are doing something very interesting with
the cadet program, so we can go into uh uh,

(07:33):
we can go into that a little bit more. But
Eric was able to send me a listing of cadets
with Mississippi adresses, so I'm really again thank you for that.
We could we could even talk about that. So if
the chat wants to hear what our plan is, because
right now it's just we're planning to plan.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Ye. Got some great ideas though coming down the pipe
just gonna take time. As always, I have my Bobby.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Lee Hey look at you.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Little Rob is.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Actually at my other office, so I need to I
need to bring him over here.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I am.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Uh in the middle of this moving homes and uh,
I'm having to That's what I spent a lot of
the day doing, was trying to get from nothing needs
to come to the s c V office to the

(08:38):
s c V office. Stuff that needs to go, all
the decations separated out and get ready for getting great
for that, I'm excited, but still it's uh, it's always,
it's always an interesting time when you when you move,
move homes, and and just like that, as soon as
I get my new address, I will be updating my

(09:03):
camp adjutant as well as the national organization about the
move about my new address, because I want to make
sure I get my veteran that's right. If you're not,
if you have moved and not gotten here better and
haven't told anybody that you moved, kind of your fault

(09:24):
toes there. But you know we have we have, you know,
the steps necessary for for that to happen. So yeah, Jason,
I saw Jason and Lloyd. I saw this weekend that
you were up there at the one sixty third Cedar Mountain.
Saw the pictures. It looked fantastic as always, uh, just

(09:46):
like any other event, it looks like you do. I
just hope that one day when I can get more
serious back into reenacting, I can, I can uh do
some events up that way with you, because you look
like y'all are having fun and are doing it on
the authentic, uh authentic side of things, while I am

(10:07):
by no uh by no means of the words of
my stitch counter. I do believe if we are going
to represent the soldiers of the especially the Confederate soldier
from the war to the States, that we should do
it with the best, uh best of our ability because
that's where the world, you know, sees get the idea

(10:31):
of what our ancestors look like and fall three. So
that's just uh, just my two cents on it, you know,
And that's a research goes a couple of miles in
uh in that community. So uh, what you do today,
moose Uh?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I finished editing, uh and I will be making that
announcement soon.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
My brigade is about to have some challenge coins and uh,
I don't know, but my camp ones are going to
be for yet. I don't even know if I'm going
to sell them yet. I kind of just wanted to
make them. But I am currently designing two challenge coins,
so that and you know, kind of trying to get
back in the swing of things. June and July were

(11:18):
probably the busiest I have been in a while. And
I know it's the eleventh of August, but I still
feel like I haven't recovered from June and July.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
I feel you there, Bud.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
But we we did have a great DC meeting Saturday
in the Mississippi Division. A lot of great stuff was accomplished,
and a lot of stuff I'm I'm really looking forward
to and I'm not going to share it on the show,
but man, I can't wait till I can. You know,
I think we're really doing a lot of great stuff here.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, we've already alluded to
the We've already alluded somewhat to the uh to the
cadet revamp that we're doing here in Mississippi. We're also
going to go ahead and I'll go ahead and announce
this because this is something uh that we're where we're
we're I'm working on.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is the the.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Friends Membership level.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
You know, if you did not know, we have a
friends membership level for those that do not meet the
genealogical qualifications or the gender qualifications for the Sons Confederate Veterans,
and it's called Friends of the SUV. And your money
goes and helps the organization out. You get a nice
certificate to get a lapel pen, and you get the

(12:41):
you get the magazine. The only difference is you can't
vote at reunion and things like that, so it's a
it's a worthwhile endeavor to join. So I would definitely,
you know, encourage everyone who is interested in doing that.
We only have a believe, you know, a handful of

(13:01):
members from the Mississippi Division that our friends. So I
am trying to push and create a friends membership on
the division level so that we can help grow the
Mississippi representation as well as growth for the national organization.
And it's a good fundraiser for for your division. That's

(13:25):
the way I'm treating it here in Mississippi is as
a way for us to increase our operating expenses and
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
We we've figured out where the twenty twenty eight Division
reunion is going to.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Be, No, we haven't. Yeah, we have twenty twenty eighth Division, Division.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Not National.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Yeah, it will be somewhere in Mississippi, we know that.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, be in the state of Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
And so the twenty twenty eight one, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the Division reunion will be in uh Are. The Division
twenty twenty eight reunion hosted by my campus same HBO
Camp two forty five. We'll be in Biloxi, Mississippi at Beauvoir.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, that's that's one one of the things we're talking
about with our cadet program is trying to uh, trying
to get them involved. And Beauvoir has you know, acres
upon acres beautiful land that it's well, it's a beautiful view.
It's like somebody named it that. Uh that uh is

(14:37):
available for you know, kids to run around and stuff
like that. Uh So, yeah, it's it will be it
will be good. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking
forward to next year's reunion, especially now that the uh
we got some things answered this past weekend. I'm uh
so this weekend in Mississippi, we have the Carl and

(15:01):
Nancy Ford Memorial Southern History and Heritage Conference. Yes. Yes,
last year was the inaugural. This year is the second annual.
There's no such thing as a first annual. There's inaugural
and then there's you know, but I digress. It is
going to be a great weekend. If you are going

(15:22):
to try to make it, reach out to me by
tomorrow so that we can make sure you're counted. Right now,
we're up to about close to fifty on our numbers,
which is almost double what we did last year. So
I'm really really excited about that. We'll have some speakers,
we'll have some great food and fellowship, about four speakers,

(15:46):
including myself. Still where I'm going to talk about that. Uh,
so it'll be it'll be good. It'll be here in
Jackson at the War of Worna building where I I
just happened to be able to broadcast from, which was
SCB headquarters for a while before. Uh doctor McCain, who

(16:07):
is back in the office as y'all could see over
my shoulder. Oh, there will be breakfast and lunch, thank you,
sus Yeah, I forgot that the lovely ladies of the
ocr are making breakfast stuff may or may not have
been in the trail mix this afternoon. Uh, waiting on
the show to start.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I got some moose munch from the California Division. Do
you want that? No?

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I bet that it is fantastic, but I don't want
to munch on moose.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
That just sounds gross.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
H But it's uh, it's been a been been a
good week. I am happy things you're kind of starting
to slow down though.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Uh, yeah, I am very happy. Yeah, I'm looking forward
to uh to getting some some slowness. Yeah, I love,
I love what we do. Uh, but there's some stuff
that some of the stuff that happened in Mississippi this
weekend that we're having to figure out on the fly. Uh,

(17:14):
so to speak on. Uh, but you know, it'll be
what it'll be. It'll it'll all work out for good.
H Robertism ever happening in our cause, the return of
monuments and memorials, resurrection for us pleasure. Let's keep positive
things happening and gather momental amen. Uh, Well, we can
go ahead and talk about one of the positive things
that we discussed this past weekend. During my administration, Uh,

(17:38):
the Division Executive Council had voted to uh proceed with
erecting a monument to Black Confederate soldiers out of Bobart
and just you know, you know how things are, you know, Uh,
it was it was close to the end of my administration.
Things happen transition to power, as well as working with

(17:59):
this Department of Arcives in history UH and the board
of Bouvoir. While it's a shared membership, it's two separate organizations.
That's a long hard way to explain.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
We could spend an entire episode on that, but we're not.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
And you'll have multiple people give them multiple answers.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah. So but all that being said, uh, the Division
is picking that project back up, so I'm I'm really
excited about it. We've kind of changed the design of it.
Uh so it's it's very cool. There are documented accounts

(18:38):
of black Confederate veterans that actually lived at Bobar when
it was a veterans home, So there's good news about that.
Really looking forward to that getting unveiled. That's going to
with the way we we've discussed in our mind, it'll
be a uh it'll be a very very interesting, interesting

(19:03):
monument and it'll be it'll be very well placed, very
prominent location. So we're looking at that.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Mississippi is going to have a good year in that department,
I I hope.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
So anyway, yeah, yeah, and and you know, also my
most favorite job is uh chairman of the Division. Uh
not only Division Heritage Operations Committee, but the Constitution and

(19:41):
Bylaws Committee for the Division. And I've already I'm already
working on three separate amendments to our constitution. I'm hoping
that it's not going to turn into twenty one.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
You please know not that again, I do have one
I might submit. Yeah, well, I told you about it
a couple of years ago, and I've had had some
input from surprisingly, I don't know if you remember it.
You are one of them, and a couple other people
gave me their input.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Well, I may have changed my mind since then, So
remind me of what it is later. All right, you'll
you'll I think you'll like it. I may not, you know, Yeah,
who knows?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
The amendment could be You know that if a certain member,
a past commander in chief shows up to ASSISIPI division reunion,
he has to wear a t Rex costume.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Well, or I don't think we can impose that. I
would love to impose that, but I don't think we can.
I almost speak on behalf of the committee, and our
recommendations do not pass.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Okay, okay, but we could put in a dress code
and acquire everybody outside.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Recommend Let's go ahead and pause and pause. Let's go
ahead and pause. I want you to revisit those first
two words. What dress code? Yeah, recommendations do not pass.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Oh, come on, I think it'd be funny. Could you imagine? Uh,
it would be great if Karl came down to visit
and Carl has to buy the constitution where t Rex
costume would be entered into the.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
So anyway, that's enough of that.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll make it amendment to the
standing orders.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
We don't have any standing orders.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Oh, I'll make standing orders.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
You're supposed to be making standing orders.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I am. I am in the process, but I don't know. Yeah,
some people are about to be shocked by this. But
I am the chief of pro protocol in the Missippi Division. Uh,
and I'm working on a big, big book something I'm
very passionate about the the traditions and protocols of the

(21:58):
missip Division.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Sons of Confederate Veterans. Yeah. Uh, Kyle, that's a question
for Adam.

this past weekend.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
No, it's got a picture of me on it, Adam,
don't you do that to me? Uh?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
But I don't think that's an artifact that we want
to display.

Speaker 3 (22:23):

I can guarantee you well, that's that's that's more of
an art gallery. It's an art gallery. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, it did go somewhere real quick. And uh, it's
always when Adam is involved. Calen, do you really hate jbo?

Speaker 3 (25:22):

I want that as one of our T shirts. Now,
Adam chasing a rooster on the back.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Paul gets a specialized US him showing his habitat Uh.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Well, can we have the spam room, the Carl Jones
spam room at National.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well?

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, at least he's honest. Yeah, which you know he
can't touch the pedals. He's he's got the blocks like
short round and tiple of doom. I've seen him put
them on. He has to sit up at the stealing
wheel like this.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
And not only does he drive too slow, he types
too slow.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
All right, that's it me and you have been put
on the do do not re stateless.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
But no, it's just it's just, uh, what I think
is gonna happen is we're gonna need him to pull
our bacon out of the fire because you know something's
gonna pop up, like next week, I've got to go.
I will not be on next week. Mississippi is in
the middle of a heritage operations.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Uh oh, I got an idea to run by you
on that next Monday episode.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
I won't be here. So happy, I know, but I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
We're still a team. I still like having everybody in agreement.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
I agree, have that it all.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I know you're watching Doctor Mitchum, how's next Monday.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
See, I agree, I'm first.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Doctor Mitchrim episode is a Doctor Mitchrim episode. I don't
have to do any work.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
So anyway, so uh, that's uh but that but yeah,
so think things are happening in Mississippi Division. Uh, if
you want to to go ahead and highlight things that
are happening in your division, there just happens to be
a show called Look Around the Confederation. Uh. It is
every Thursday with and doctor Mitchell says.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Okay, hey, okay, we're having Doctor mitchum on next Monday. Everybody.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Uh, but it's every Thursday at seven o'clock Confederate standard
or Confederate time whatever, whether it's daylight or standard. So yeah,
if you have things, announcements, events that you are wanting
to promote for your division, please email Harrison at SCV
Youth Outreach at gmail dot com to be featured on that.

(28:14):
Of course, you know, we do have like we've talked
about Tennessee Tuesday that's about to kick off pretty soon
with Jason Boucher's and Commander Josh Blank and ship. So
that will be pretty fun and interesting as well, so
you'll hear what Tennessee is doing, as well as Look
Around Florida with Sean McFall, So you can check those
out and see what other divisions are doing and you know,

(28:36):
try to get some ideas.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
So yeah, that's that's that or that.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
So also this week we do have the return of
Commander's comments where you can get an update straight from
National on what they are doing.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah. Well, I mean there's no other organization that I
know of that you can be a part of and
sit down and message directly here, directly from that your
national equivalent, national president, and then go from there. Uh
you know, hear it and everything that goes along with it.

(29:15):
So yeah, that's one thing that's special about about our organization.
It is uh so yeah. And then of course next Thursday,
after Commander's comments, I believe we have a special not
this Thursday, but the next The Arizona Division actually has

(29:35):
a project that they've been working on and some of
their compatriots will be on to discuss it. Correct.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Correct, I'm looking forward to having the Arizona Division on
next week. We are talking details right now about that episode,
but it is confirmed that they will be on next Thursday.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
So yeah, so it'll be it'll be very very very good.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yes, And I want to incur y'all if y'all are
in the fifth Brigade in the Missip Division or anybody
really to sign up for these training classes because I'm
going to be trying to go back to it. I
went into one when I was adjutant and so now
I'm going to go as camp commander, get a different
lens on things. I invited my camp agiant to hop

(30:21):
on with me. So if you have some officers in
your camp, or if you're thinking about running, why don't
you contact Eric Pervetti. It should be sent out right
the information Eric. We'll we'll wait for Eric.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah. Also, if you're a remember of the Army of Tennessee,
you are. If you're not a part of the new
Facebook group that Carl started, please see who is that
you know so that we can you can get on there.
There is a new announcement that came out about an
AOT meeting that is going to be held next year

(31:00):
in May. So badly I thought it was the second.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
We'll pull it up and figure it out.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Carl will correct us, I'm sure. Uh. But more information
about that will will come as it's available. But definitely,
if you are a member of the AOT, you need
to be on that group so you can see what's
going on. It's a great way to share ideas across
the army. A stronger army makes a stronger confederation for us.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
All let's let's see, we're scrolling, We're scrolling. There's a Carl.
I just wanted to put that picture up of Carl,
the Lovely Army of Tennessee Commander.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
And Eric is saying for more information about the uh
how to get on his training email membership at SCV
May six. I told you so, take nabbit.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Uh but he did post something. Let's see here.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
The AOT reunion is gonna be awesome. Rich Garcia Forrest
as Dolls, Connor Bond, and Jimmy Hill will be speaking,
and he is working on one more that has a
stack line up.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, rich In Forest, you know Jimmy, I know about me,
but I mean you're you're there, Yeah, I'm there.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I mean you host the show seen by millions every year. Yeah,
you're you're famous.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
You're breaking in the crowd. I'm infamous.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
But it does sound like it's going to be a
great meeting. I can't wait. I enjoy learning how to
be a better officer, and I think this is for
camp yeah memberships.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, specifically how to build a camp.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Okay, Yeah, those are some great minds right there. Uh oh,
I'm gonna try to get up Friday night for sure. Now.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, and that's that's one thing I was gonna mention.
The way Carl has described it and what I'm looking
forward to. It sounds like it's gonna be more like
a miniature national reunion uh than an actual uh you know,
Army meeting, with the fact that there's a lot of
you know, planned fellowship and activities the night before uh
the actual meeting kicks off.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I can't wait that. That sounds like it's gonna be
a fun day of a fellowship with my fellow Southern
brothers and of course, uh learning how to uh build
a camp. I'm very excited for it. I can't wait
to hear the ideas of everybody and.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Just visit everybody.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Carl says, that is the goal, the AOT Reunion. It's
a good name for it. The ATM is having a
field day April eighteenth at Man's Field.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
So yeah, So, so make sure that you are definitely
following your army pages. Yeah, it's something you'll wanna, you
wanna you know, check out and you know, stay a
part of and all the all the good things that
come along with it.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Do you want to take a quick commercial break, Sure.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
And when we get back we're gonna talk about. Uh,
I need I need practice giving this talk, uh because
I have to give it here in a couple of weeks.
Uh my talk on Roberty Lee Stonewall Jackson and what
we can learn from their lives.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
All right. Uh, by the way, remind me to tell
you an idea about to have on the commercial breaks
after we go off there.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yes, and and I'm glad that you mentioned our commercial break.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Doctor Chris Cummins, who is our first uh Patreon level
sponsor level member, he asked us to make one little
change on the video. I did not get a chance
to do it this week. Uh, so, Doc, I do
apologize for that, but we will make it in the future.

(35:28):
But our first sponsor, of course is everybody on Patreon,
but specifically our business sponsors uh this season is doctor
Chris Cummins is clinic there in Oxford.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I thought I had it uploaded in here, but clearly
it did not save. But check out docs. Uh, check
out docs clinic. The information was on the title slide. Doc,
I do apologize for not having that upload. I thought
I did, but you know, sometimes things get deleted by accident.

(36:05):
But uh, luckily I think the idea I have.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Oh you got it? Yeah, yeah, pip hey throw that up.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Yes, the CMCMD Clinic PLC Knee Team, knee pain treatment specialists.
That's what they absolutely specialize in. Uh So if you
are having knee pain. My mother's actually having some knee
pain right now, so I may I may take her
up to ox Vegas and get her to see doc
and see see if he can't help her out.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
With some modern medicine and some Southern hospitality.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Hospitality.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
I've always been proud of my Confederate ancestry, but I'd
never pursued becoming a member of the Son's Confederate Veterans.
It all changed in twenty seventeen when I saw New
Orleans takedown their Confederate statues. Those monuments come down really
lit a fire inside of me and came to the

(37:10):
conclusion I needed to join the Sons of Confederate vetters.
It's a domino effect.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
We give in on this.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
It's just a matter of time before they start taking
down Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. We need to draw
the line in the sand right now. These are our
Confederate monuments, These are our Southern heroes and you're not
going to take it down. Our museum is going to
be funded one hundred percent by the sons of Confederate veterans.

(37:42):
The history, the narrative that we present, will be the
narrative that we write, and so it will be our story,
our museum.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Right now.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
If we do not protect our heritage and present it
as it truly was, it's going to be lost for
wherever We're gonna tell the true story here. I'm Adam Southern,
and I'm proud to send it a private Alfred D. Southern,
a Confederate.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
Veteran, Adam boy, Adam got old.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Okay day, I love you, Adam. I appreciate the I
didn't say I didn't appreciate him. I like Otis Moore.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
But where is it. I appreciate you, Adam Yo, I'll
be right back. You go ahead.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
So, uh, Jerry, the AOT is going to meeting is
gonna be in Watumpka, Alabama. I believe uh more information
will be put out in detail later on. So yeah, anyway,
So Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson is probably, you know,

(39:11):
in most Southerners top two generals in the War between
the States. Of course, you know their Their partnership is
a book actually came out a little while ago, a
couple of years ago, called The Greatest Partnership. I had
a copy of said book, and I lent it to
somebody and he sold it. He has gone off screen
or else he would be able to hear. Uh, he

(39:36):
would be able to hear.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
Chuck.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, I'm so glad that you got your Adam Southern
Baseball card.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
I appreciate you, Adam the Baseball Hall of Famer. Hey,
mine is actually autographed, but it was. It was the
greatest partnership in military history, especially when you look at
that partnership. That partnership was only a couple of months,
not even a.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Full year in age. When you study Robert Lee and
Stonewall Jackson's entire life, you know, it's it's very interesting
on the similar similarities between them. Of course, obviously the
first both men being from Virginia and being proud Virginians.

(40:22):
They both had something to do with John Brown.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Robert Lee, of course capture John Brown and Stonewall Jackson
commanded the Corps of Cadets when John Brown from vm
I when John Brown was hung, you know, so it's
it's those those end up matching up together. But you know,
when studying them, there are multiple lessons that we can

(40:47):
learn from their lives. But there's four that I really
want to talk to about tonight. And of course, with
any time that I'm talking about our Confederate ancestors, I
always like to bring out my favorite quote from Shakespeare.
Shakespeare wrote, I believe in Twelfth Night being not afraid
of greatness. Some are born great, some in achieve greatness.

(41:07):
Other men have greatness thrust upon them. And to me,
that represents not only the vast majority of our Confederate ancestors,
but also it represents the lives of Roberty Lee and
Stonewall Jackson. Lee and Jackson represent it because you know,
some men are born great. If you look at the
history of Virginia and remember what we've covered on this

(41:29):
show before in the past, specifically in our Revolutionary War episodes,
we spent a bunch of time talking about lighthorse Harry Lee,
who is Robert E. Lee's father, of course, but we
also spent time talking about Richard Henry Lee, the Virginian
who proposed America's original secession, the idea that the thirteen

(41:52):
colonies should all right, ought to be free and independent states,
free from the yoke of Great Britain. The reason why
we celebrate Fourth of July is because of a Southerner.
But that was Lee's family. Lee of course married the
step granddaughter of George Washington, essentially becoming part of or

(42:13):
the granddaughter of Martha Washington, becoming a part of the
American aristocracy. There's a video out there that talks about
if America had been a monarchy, who would have who
would have been king? And followed all that, and they
even talk about how Robert E. Lee was a part
of This is from a Yankee video, so talking about

(42:41):
that though, they talk about how Lee was a part
of that. Now, on the other hand, Stonewall Jackson Jackson
was born into relative obscurity. Jackson came from scotch Irish,
just like many of us in the South did sesters.
Lee came from the Cavaliers, of course, the Lee's of

(43:04):
Old Virginia. But you know, Jackson was that scotch Irish.
He's from what is now West Virginia, which is not
legally a state, but you know, that's a topic for
another time. Jackson was an orphaned by the age of
I believe fourteen pulling that off a memory, So I
may be wrong. I may be getting him confused with

(43:27):
Winnie Barksdale. Age of seven and Jackson went to live
with his uncle Cummins Jackson at Jackson's mill there in
western Virginia. Jackson Jackson did not have a formal education,
whereas Lee was able to get somewhat of a formal education. However,

(43:48):
they begin their lives begin getting together or close together
time closer together at west Point, which brings us to
the first thing that we can learn from Lee in
Jackson's life is that education is one of the most
important things that we can have in this war that
we're in right now. Education is hold on, y'all. Second,

(44:11):
Education is very important. It is very it is very
key to UH, to our struggle. We often talk about
how our current ambition is is money in most of
our heritage fights, and that is true. However, while education,
while uh dollars and bucks maybe bullets, education is our bayonet.

(44:34):
In my humble opinion, Robert E. Lee famously said that
the education of a man is not completed until his death.
Both men valued education. Jackson, of course, Uh, he begins
his education career as I mentioned as very rudimental, very

(44:57):
very western, and I like old West Western.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
Okay, Paul, Uh sorry, education is sorry. I I Hearson
sent me a message behind the scenes, and it made
me lose my train of thought. Bad news anyway. Jackson
Jackson gets an appointment. Well, let's let's let me digress
back to Lee. Lee. Of course, as we know at

(45:31):
the at West Point never got it was known as
the Marvel Cadet. He never got a single demerit. Graduated
second in his class at West Point, and of course
you know, went into the prestigious UH Engineering Corps. Jackson Uh.
Surprisingly at west Point the first couple of years. Uh

(45:56):
Jackson actually got second place for his appointment in the
United States Military case at of me you know, the
United States Military Academy. You have to be appointed by
a congressman, and Jackson uh got second place, and the
guy who originally got the appointment couldn't hack it. So

(46:17):
he goes to the congressman that gave him the appointment
and while there tells him that tells him that, hey,
this guy backed out. I was second place. I need to,
you know, fulfill the thank you for that weather report.
Carl That's really what had me sidetrack, y'all was figuring

(46:42):
out a way how to make moose laugh. But uh
so so Jackson, you know, placed high value on that education.
Jackson ends up getting several demerits his first year at
west Point. Uh but it wasn't for disciplinary issues like
many other cadets of that of his class. The issues

(47:03):
that Jackson was getting demerits on was things like lights
on after dark, missy uniforms, things of that nature, and
the history. Bud Robertson, who wrote the Jackson biography, The
Big Thick One, he was actually able to go and
be an adjunct professor at West Point and was able

(47:25):
to while he was writing the book study Jackson's transcripts,
and he sees that Jackson or he believes that it's
because Jackson did not have the formal background on education,
but he was trying to get there. And it's indeed
proven that by his second or by his third and
fourth year, he is one of the top cadets. His

(47:49):
third and fourth year he does not get a single
demerican at west Point. He throws his class say that
had they gone another year, he would have graduated top
of his class Jackson goes to become an artilleryman. After
the Mexican War, Jackson and Lee both become educators, Jackson

(48:09):
of course at vm I, but Lee at the Superintendent
of West Point now spoiler alert. Jackson does not survive
the war, and upon the ending of so, he doesn't
go back to vm I to be a professor. However,
he does. Lee does survive the war and he moves
to Jackson's hometown of Lexington and becomes a teacher or

(48:32):
a president of Washington College now Washington Lee University and
redes the curriculum and essentially creates the modern curriculum that
most Southern colleges still follow to this day, especially the
code of honor there at Washington and Lee which is
still was still you know, being followed on one thing

(48:58):
I mentioned about Jackson's room entry education, there are stories
about Jackson uh ending up as a young student going
to the one room schoolhouse and having to when he
learned how to read and everything like that, making a

(49:19):
deal with one of his uncle's servants, Uh he would
teach him how to read in exchange for a light
or not to keep the fire going there at their
at their fireplace, so that he could read at night.
I don't know how truthful it is, but those stories
do exist. The second thing that we can learn from

(49:42):
Jackson is for en Lee is to do our duty
and all things. Yeah, Roberty Lee said that duty's the
most sublind word in the English language. Uh. You know,
the Jackson's famous for saying that the dude often saying
that the duty is ours consequence gods. And these two men,

(50:03):
and probably influenced by their time at West Point, had
a had a profound sense of duty. Both of them.
When the war came in eighteen sixty one and Virginia
seceded from the Union after the firing Fort Sumter and
Lincoln's illegal call for seventy five thousand volunteers, they both

(50:25):
felt like their duty was to Virginia first and foremost,
and when the time came they Lee of course was
offered the position of command of the Federal Armies, and
he viewed his duty was to his country, to his home,
to Virginia, so he stayed the course with his people. Jackson, likewise,

(50:53):
you know, believed that. But if we look really into
Lee's life for that, you know, Lee was, as I
mentioned a minute ago, he was the number one winfil
Scott said, if there was another, if there's to be
excuse me trying to pull the quote out of my head.
If I had to suggest a general to Lee troops

(51:17):
in a battle, I would say, let it be Roberty
Lee or something along those lines. You know, Lee was
and and I heard one of the past commanders in
chiefs and a speech years ago at Jefferson Davis's graveside
talking about Robert Lee. He hearkened him to Moses, or

(51:39):
compared him to Moses from the Old Testament, saying that
you know, in the Old Testament, Moses was, he was
the son of Pharaoh. He was the one that would
have led the Egyptians. He'd have been given he'd have
been taught the most advanced mathematics of his time. He
would have been trained from birth to lead armies. However,

(52:03):
when tom came and God put that calling on his life,
Moses decided to stay with his people or throw his
lot in with his people. And you know Roberty Lee
did the same thing. He did his duty to his
what he believed was was and what we believe is
correct for his home. Jackson. You know, if you want

(52:24):
to look at another example of duty in his life.
We need to look at the Mexican American War. Jackson
was a lieutenant of artillery outside of believe this was
before Battle of Monterey, may be wrong. But while he
is out there, he's commanding his artillery battery, and his

(52:46):
battery is in a precarious situation. They're being shelled left
and right, and Jackson is ordered to or not ordered.
But Jackson is other men are telling him to withdraw.
He is seeing the line faltering. But Jackson rides out
in front of his guns, inspires his men, and he says, no,

(53:07):
we have a duty to hold here for the rest
of the army in order to win this battle. And
of course we did win the battle. But that was
Jackson's idea of duty. He was willing to put himself
and his men in harm's way to achieve what needed
to be achieved. Next is education, do duty in all things.

(53:30):
Next is in the face of overwhelming odds, do not
show fear. And for that the example out of both
of their lives come at their the climax of their partnership,
and that's at the Battle of Chancellersville. If you remember,
the Confederate Army is outnumbered roughly some say three almost

(53:53):
three to one at that battle. You know, this is
right after the Winter campaign burd had happened. The previous winner,
Long Street is in North Carolina, and this is before
the reorganization of the army. Roberty Lee had two wings
of his army. He had he had Long Streets Wing,
he had Jackson's wing. So he sends Long Streets Wing

(54:18):
down to North Carolina to fight off a little invasion
down there as well as to be able to be
supplied from the Carolinas for that winner, because there were
just were not enough supplies in that portion of northern
Virginia to supply both the civilian population and the army.
So the army, you know, moves on out there. Before

(54:39):
he can recall the army. Joe Hooker, who was appointed
by Lincoln to be command of the Federal Army of
the Potomac, splits his troops and goes and decides to
outflank Roberty Lee. And he does, and Robert Lee has
caught between two wings of the Federal Army. Now, most

(55:01):
people would retreat at that moment, but Lee and Jackson
devise a council of war. Jackson sends out, asked Lee
to send out. Stuart Stewart and his cavalry discover that
the Federal right flank is up in the air, and
instead of you know, listening to their fears and taking
heart of their fears, they then decide that know what

(55:22):
they're going to do is Jackson's going to take his
majority of the army, move around the Federal out flank,
out flank the flankers, and end up trying to push
them back. And of course it works. Now sadly for
the Confederacy, it's at the cost of Jackson's own life. Jackson,
of course, you know, ends up being wounded, catching pneumonia.

(55:48):
I believe it's because he believed in hydrotherapy and ended
up trying to put cold compresses on his bruce side,
and when he did, that's what caused the pneumonia to
set in. But you know, he ends up passing away.
And for the past one hundred and sixty years, we
ask ourselves, what if what if Jackson would have lived,

(56:09):
What would have been different, would anything have been different?
What would have happened if Jackson was at Gettysburg. But again,
you know, most military doctrine would have said especially that
of that time that we need to go ahead and
withdraw and redeploy and try to get somewhere with more safety.
But not for Jackson, not for Lee. They were out numbered,

(56:33):
they were outgunned, yet they did not show fear and
overwhelming face of the enemy, and they continued on and
you know, one of the singular greatest victory in the
in the war. The final thing that we can learn
from them, which I normally lead off with, but it's
definitely not least, is the idea that we must put
God first in everything that we did. There's a quote

(56:58):
out of one of Paul's letter. If God is for us,
who can be against us? And indeed that is that
is true. If God is for us, who is against us?
And we must first put God first, and we must
give him the glory for all the victories and go
to him in prayer before we go through everything. Whether

(57:19):
it's a heritage fight, whether it's giving a speech, whatever,
we have to do. That we have to seek his
blessing in order for us to get it. And we
cannot rely on ourselves saying that we got the victory.
Now we only we're only to win, We're only able
to win our heritage battles because God grants us the victory.
But still I digress back to the main point of

(57:42):
that we have to put God first in everything. Lee
and Jackson did as we have. We all know Jackson
and Lee were great examples of Christian men. You know,
Jackson really came to faith after the Mexican War, and
after the Mexican War, he he began trying to discover
what religion or what denomination rather he really belonged belonged to.

(58:08):
There's stories that during the occupation of Mexico City, Jackson
actually sought out the bishop of the Cathedral of Mexico
City to discuss, you know, the high points of Catholicism,
and Jackson ends up finding the Presbyterian Church though, and
the Calvinist ideas of the Presbyterian Church really appealed to Jackson,

(58:31):
the idea that everything is preordained and predestined. Jackson ends
up actually marrying two women. The first wife died in
childbirth and along with a child, and the second wife
ends up surviving him and was known as the Widow
of the Confederacy. But they were both daughters of Presbyterian ministers.
Jackson was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and Jackson,

(58:52):
as we've discussed on the Jackson two hundred video, actually
funded out of his pocket a black black n Black
Sunday school class to teach the word. And in fact,
there is a church in Virginia that has a stained
glass window that traces its roots back to Jackson's Sunday
school class. And how many generations of people can now

(59:17):
thank the Good Lord in Heaven that Jackson did that
and shared the Gospel with them. Jackson, in the Winner
of eighteen sixty two going into eighteen sixty three actually
takes money out of his own pocket and funds his
personal chaplain, the brother Reverend Tucker Lacey, to go out

(59:37):
into the army and to create chaplains for the different regiments.
Jackson's doing that essentially started the great revival that happened
in the Confederate Army. Jackson. It's reported that during during

(01:00:00):
the UH during those times, Jackson would ride through the
camps and during the camp or during on Sundays when
the men were in service, and we would attend different
different religious or denominational rather services. He may be into

(01:00:22):
Baptist service one Sunday and a Presbyterian the next, the
Methodist the next, and young men, being who they are
and being rambunctious and away from home for the first time,
would often be rowdy and disrespectful. However, there are multiple
accounts from soldiers diaries that when those young men would
walk by, the pickets would look at them and say, hey,

(01:00:43):
y'all need to be quiet and respectful. Old Jack, which
is what has been called them, is in there praying
for you. And they would hang their heads in shame,
and they would continue on silently and reverently. Lee, of course,
was a was a fine Christian man as well. During
the war or after the Battle of Gettysburg, the very
next battle before the Army of Northern Virginia went into

(01:01:04):
winter quarters was the Battle of mine Run. And at
mine Run it is recorded that Lee was riding and
inspecting the lines and looked down upon some group of
soldiers praying, and his staff officers continue to ride on.
They continue to ride on for a little while, and
yet they stop. And when they do stop, they look

(01:01:27):
realized they're missing somebody. They're missing Robert E. Lee. How
do you lose Robert E. Lee, That is my question.
So anyway, they end up backtracking and they find Lee sitting,
you know, kneeling with those men praying and what could

(01:01:48):
have been their last prayers before you know, exiting this
moral mortal coil, before crossing the rivers, as Jackson said,
resting under the shade of the tree. Lee, of course,
as we've been, goes on to the Washington College presidency
and while there he is uh talking to a faculty

(01:02:15):
member who essentially asks, what what is your what do
you want uh for all your students? And Li says,
what I want is for all of my students to
become good Christian men. Of course, it was not a
uh co ed college at the time, so that uh,

(01:02:36):
that that speaks highly of Lee's character. Of course, Lee
uh goes on, uh before he passes away, is actually
at a vestry meeting of the church, the Episcopal Church
there in Lexington before when he gets essentially what many

(01:03:02):
people believe, he had his stroke and ended up passing
away from Uh. So those are four things that we
can learn from Lee in Jackson's lives. You know first
and foremost, but God first and everything second. Uh. You know,
do not take countenance of your fears in the face
of overwhelming odds, stand firm, stand your ground, do your duty,

(01:03:23):
and all things and most important and importantly, be educated,
no know how we you know, know know things, be educated,
understand things. And and here's the reason why. A couple
of weeks ago, before our season break, we talked about
the we talked about the plan that the s p

(01:03:47):
l C has put out in regards to how to
remove a Confederate monument. And one of the things that
they say is for them to understand where the history
of the monument. Well, we need to know the history
of our monument more than they do. U. That is

(01:04:08):
a key point of education. Knowing that the next thing
is the ability to be able to we're charged, you know,
by sd lead to vindicate the cause for which our
ancestors fought. How can we vindicate the cause for which
your ancestors fought if we do not know what that

(01:04:28):
cause is, If we do not understand where why they fought,
where they came from, things of that nature. That's all education.
That's why education is important for the SCV. Again, I
got on why we should put God first. He gives
us the victories, you know, He allows us to be

(01:04:48):
able to be victorious when we save a monument or
when something happens and we should give God the glory,
whether it is a you know, monument being re erected,
whether it it's you know, a successful reunion, what have you.
We need to we need to do that, We need
to and we do do that, but we cannot forget
to do that. That's why one thing I'm really really

(01:05:12):
happy to see continued on this year in South Carolina.
We began singing the doxology before the beginning of the
business session. I'm really thankful that Michael Hurley continued that
tradition this year. Do not be afraid of overwhelming odds.
I mean, I don't know if y'all need to hear
this from us. Where have y'all been the past couple

(01:05:36):
of years? Because we're outnumbered. Suprise, Suprise, Suprise. We've always
been out numbered, and we cannot afford to let the
fear of being outnumbered influence how we react to certain things.
We're always going to be out our ancestors. We're out numbered.

(01:06:00):
All God's Cheering's is outnumbered, so we cannot we cannot
be afraid of that. And you know that that should,
if anything, if if our ancestors can sit there and
fight at the bloody angle, out number for twenty four hours,
letting it go hand to hand combat. And you know

(01:06:21):
it's where the point they're standing in in ankle deep blood,
or despite being outnumbered, they can sit in the freezing
cold during the winter and the starving at Petersburg or
countless other stories that we have about our ancestors. Uh,
if they can do it out numbered, we can do
it outnumbered. And finally, you know, it's do your duty.

(01:06:41):
In all things, we each have a duty. We have
a duty to our ancestors. We have a duty to
our descendants. That's one thing we talked about with the
with the cadet program is that yes, uh, we emulate
our ancestors, but we are the ancestors for the cadets.
They look to us to, you know, how how to act,

(01:07:04):
how to treat our ancestors with reverence, how to do
everything that we need to do. So we have a
duty to the past as well as to the future.
You know, we have a duty. And and it doesn't
matter whether your commander in chief or whether you just
joined the organization, just turned in your paperwork yesterday, you

(01:07:24):
have a duty and responsibility. You know the biggest one
at this time of the years is what moose dudes. Yes,
we all have a duty right now to pay our dues,
to pay them on time. Our camp adjudants, our division adjudants,
should not have to go and track you down. You

(01:07:46):
know that national dues are X. You know that division
dudes are why. And you know that camp dudes are Z.
You get a piece of paper in the mail, you
know that they are due every year at this time. Now.
I am not a poor broke college student, thank God

(01:08:07):
for that. I'm a poor broke government employee that gets
paid once a month. But I know my dues come
due every year during this time. Set aside some of
it for whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
If you know that it's gonna cost, you know, in
Mississippi's case, on average, fifty five dollars, go ahead and
save your fifty five dollars. Forrest talked about this past
Saturday that that you know he's addicted to die doctor Pepper,
and that's his big addiction. I'm addicted to nicotine. I
dip snuff. If y'all couldn't tell for the past five years,

(01:08:49):
I don't know where you've been, but yeah, that is
my thing. It calms me down, It makes me deal
with Moose easier and nicer. But I'm paying on average
three dollars a can. So if I take fifty five
dollars and I divide about three dollars can, that's eighteen cans.

(01:09:14):
That's half a month, you know, which. Granted I went
ahead and got my national Life membership in my divisional
Life membership, so I wouldn't have to worry about, you know,
remembering to pay dues. But you know you can you
can do that if that's you know, your thing, if
you're forgetful like I am, but pay you do is yes, Uh,

(01:09:36):
it's as simple as that. If your camp is doing something,
whether you know, if y'all are having a recruiting booth
and it's one Saturday, you know, give up that saturday.
If your division is hosting, oh, I don't know, an
education seminar where they're going to be talking about, you know,
the South's beautiful and rich history more than just eighteen

(01:09:58):
sixty one to eighteen sixty five, but the entire history
starting in about sixteen Well, depending on which talk I give,
either the seventeen hundreds or the sixteen hundreds, you know,
show up, show up to it. Support those guys. If
if a camp next to you may may not even
be your own home camp, but if the camp one
county over is having memorial service, go support them. That's

(01:10:22):
basic little things that we can do that are part
of our duty is fraternal organization to help each other out.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Yes, please support each other and pay dues on time.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
Yeah, Sarah, I've tried bourbon, and bourbon gets me drunk,
and I'm that that's not nobody wants that I've tried
bourbon on this show.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
That was not a good idea.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
It was a great idea. That was a fun episode.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
I don't know if we should look back at it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
Now. It was one of our Christmas episodes. It was
like our first Christmas episode. So, like I said, that's
just me dusting that off because I have to give
that talk in a couple of weeks, and I wanted
to make sure I still remembered everything, and I think
I did so. But it's good for us. It's it's
good for us to remember that, to think about that,

(01:11:26):
you know, to to be reminded of what you know,
what we can do, what our our what our ancestors did,
and things of that nature. So you know what another
and you know what another part of your your duties
are what uh, if you're wanting to support scv chat,
share these episodes out. If you're wanting to be informed,

(01:11:50):
read your veteran and watch look around and watch commander's
comments please so you know that's uh, yeah, it's the
little things. But you know, if we imagine if if
one third of our membership or you know, pay their

(01:12:13):
dues on time, how much easier that would make things
on headquarters? How much easier that would uh, how much
easier that would make it on your on your division
adjutant or your camp adjutant. Imagine how many how much
more you know, projects and things of that nature. You know,
if you're sitting there, you know you don't think your
camp's doing enough. You know, you know, you pay, you

(01:12:36):
pay your you pay your dues and then pay them
on time. That gives your adjutant a chance to do
something other than you know, harp on you know, pay
your dues. I mean you know it also helps you know,
if you have camp dues, helps fund your camp so
that y'all can do other projects. And you know the
other big thing is if you do want to see

(01:12:57):
change in the organization or you want to see change
on your camp. Be the be the change. M Hm.
I knew Miss Sarah. I knew you and Frank would
appreciate that plug for the veteran. Frank works very hard
on it and we do not.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
He does not get enough credit for for the hard
work that he does.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
No, he does not bless that man.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
I am I understand why he asked yankee shirt off
in the middle of national reunion at a time?

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Can that be a T shirt? Frank ripping a T shirt?

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
And yes, uh, Frank is actually Frank and Miss Sarah
are both coming down to Mississippi to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:13:51):
Frankly speaking, Miss Sarah will be our one of our
lovely distinguished guests and we're looking forward to them coming
and speaking. So yeah, that's uh. I can't wait to hear.
Oh I can't either, Frank.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
No I Miss Sarah has vetoed the chat.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
Shirt of Frank Frank shirtless shirt, Chief.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Frankin power doing the whole Cogan rip. I think it
would sell.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
Mmm. I'm surprised nobody asked why we have two stars
and stripes behind me?

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
You know what, Connor, why do we have two stars
and stripes behind you?

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Because the Mississippi Division this past year at our division reunion,
decided to adopt, uh, in in lieu of the fifty
star federal flag for the next couple of years, the
Betsy Ross flag because it is it is an American flag.

(01:15:09):
But also we're in the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the War for American Independence, and the South played
a pivotal role in that role for independence. So it
is our belief. And they inspired most of our Confederate
ancestors to go and fight. The same causes that motivated

(01:15:32):
them in seventeen seventy six motivated our their sons and
grandsons in eighteen sixty one. And if the South was
right in our of America was right in eighteen seventies
or excuse me, seventeen seventy six, then America must have
been right or moose, you know what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
Yeah, the South was right in eighteen sixty one, because
America was right in seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Right, So if that is the case, uh, then uh,
it is fitting for us to go ahead and honor
those sacrifices and uh and and and have that flag.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
And man, I'm very proud of our division for doing that,
honoring our the ancestors of our ancestors are as we
have when we did the show, the heroes of our heroes.

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
Yeah, right, so that is uh, that's why we have
the he goes Betsy Ross UH state flag, third National,
UH fifty star battle flag, and then Bonnie Blue. I've
got the first national and second national over on the
other side. Just couldn't make them all fit, especially with Doc.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
Doc Audrey's doing well. Thank you for asking, Commander.

Speaker 4 (01:17:06):
So anyway, so next week you're gonna have doctor Mitchummond
talking about something that doctor Minchem wants to talk about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Yes, yes, we'll be having doctor Mitchummond. We'll be sharing
news on that shortly because I do remember what he
wanted to talk about, but I'm not going to say
it just in case I'm wrong. But we did talk
about him coming on a while ago, so I think
I know. But it's gonna be a great episode. I
can't wait. I'll be sharing that out shortly. And again

(01:17:42):

check that out. And of course this Thursday instead of

Did you ever buy your Pat Claiburne one.

And I highly encourage everybody to get the right and
sixty one shirt because of seventy six shirt. And let's

that shirt? This is a year that we could get
