pause to recognize the lives of two Virginians who helped write the story of
both our Commonwealth and our nation. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
lived during a turbulent time in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Virginia</st1:State></st1:place>. They were defining figures of a
generation for both their roles in history and their exceptional personal
character. They were leaders of men. They were renowned generals and
supreme tacticians. They were the epitome of honor, duty and
service. They were men of steadfast principle and tireless faith. I
hope all Virginians will join me today in honoring the lives and memory of
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
