This year we are looking at a new era in American history. Our ancestors are smiling down at us, that this is the time they prayed for, fought for and died for has to come to past and we should do no less than to restore the resting places of the men and women we hold so dear. The resting places of our parents, grand-parents, great-grand-parents and great-great-grand-parents are in need of our attention, our time and our money. We must not and will not miss our time in history to show the world and future generations how much we care for and honor the men and women who did so much for this time to come to pass. A few weeks from now on Sunday the 24th of May 2009 the day before Memorial Day, we will gather at St Paul CME Church in Belcher, LA to celebrate, honor and raise money for this undertaking. We are also looking for more men and women who are willing and ready to join us and help bring the restoration of the resting place of our people to past. We are looking forward to seeing you and we are asking for your help in getting the word out, I would like to thank you for taking the time to listen and may God bless you and may God bless America.
