Thats what makes America great. the freedom of choice. one person can chose to celebrate one day and others something else. One person can make the mistake of Driving a Chevy and the smarter can buy a Dodge.

The South's gonna Rise Again!!!
I refuse to "honour" MLK... aka the womanizing Marxist.
As for Robert E. Lee, he had one of the finest military minds of any man who ever lived, and was the model of what a Christian gentleman should be.

It does sound like Robert E. Lee was a good guy from the link you provided:
So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.
Statement to John Leyburn (1 May 1870), as quoted in R. E. Lee : A Biography (1934) by Douglas Southall Freeman
I don't get what there is to gain from the South as the Confederacy rising again.

Robert E. Lee was a great man, it's a damn shame we don't get a day off to celebrate him. He was one of the finest gentlemen there was and had some great values. Most of the boys of theKappa Alpha Order fraternity, like myself, around the nation try to live up to being as great of a gentleman as himself. He was the spiritual founder of our fraternity back in 1865 at Washington and Lee and we definitely take time to remember him as should everyone else.
