KNOW YE THAT HK EDGERTON is a true Son of the South and a committed friend of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. THAT HK EDGERTON, at great personal risk to himself, has been fearless in defending our flag from Texas to Virginia in marches, speeches and solo vigils. THAT HK EDGERTON has always conducted himself as a gentleman in his dealings with our detractors; and WHEREAS HK 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 SLRC); and WHEREAS HK EDGERTON is being accompanied by his brother Terry Lee who will chronicle the trip by video recording for posterity Therefore, I, Wayne McMaster, Commander of the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans do request that all Mississippi members do all that they can do to aid, succor and assist HK EDGERTON & his brother on their March Across Dixie. I further request that HK EDGERTON and his brother be given food and shelter, that compatriots of Mississippi insure their safe passage through this state. I request that special meetings be held for them so that they can speak on the March Across Dixie and raise money for their worthy endeavor, and that every compatriot consider pledging as much as they can to raise money for HK EDGERTON'S march for Heritage Defense.
