TO ALL WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, GREETING.

 

KNOW YE

 

THAT H. K. EDGERTON is a true Son of the South and a committed friend of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

 

THAT H. K. EDGERTON, at great personal risk to himself, has been fearless in defending our flag throughout the Southland in marches, speeches and solo vigils.

 

THAT H. K. EDGERTON has always conducted himself as a gentleman in his dealings with our detractors; and

 

WHEREAS H. K. EDGERTON now plans to embark on a cross country trip of some 1350 miles in which he will walk and carry a Confederate flag; and

 

WHEREAS this trip will take him in or through the SCV Divisions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas ; and

 

WHEREAS this trip is being made to raise awareness in the public's mind of the vicious and escalating assault on our Confederate heritage and to raise money for the SCV Heritage Defense fund and the Southern Legal Resource Center; and

 

WHEREAS H. K. EDGERTON is being accompanied by his brothers Terry Lee and Rashad Edgerton who will chronicle the trip by video recording for posterity

 

THEREFORE, I, Robert H. Roper, III, South Carolina Division Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans do request that all members of the SCV support this most worthy endeavor, and that all necessary aid, succor and assistance be given H. K., Terry Lee and Rashad Edgerton  on their March Through Dixie.  I further request that during the portion of the trip through South Carolina, that South Carolina Compatriots provide food and shelter for H.K. and his brothers, that Compatriots insure safe passage while in South Carolina, that special meetings be held to honor them, allow them to speak about their march, and raise funds for this endeavor.  I further request that every compatriot, Camp, and Brigade in the South Carolina Division consider pledging as much as they can to assist in raising funds for H.K. Edgerton's march for Heritage Defense.  I further request and encourage that all Army, Division, Brigade, and Camp Commanders along the line of march consider issuing their own proclamations consistent with mine.

 

Issued and signed this 16th day of October 2002 A.D.
