Dear Friends and Southerners,

Our Heritage Needs Your Help,

This is Judson Watkins (Camp 2107 8 Brig--TX--ATM---SCV) I need your help. The president of U.T. University at Austin is considering removal of the Confederate statues from the university lawn. This is a statue that honors our Texas ancestors. These statues are not depicting racism or supporting slavery, these statues are we descendants trying to honor our ancestors.

If you would like to help, please send a letter expressing your disgust of the idea of removal. I have an example letter if you would like to email me I would be happy to send you the example.

Address:

The University of Texas at Austin
President's Office
PO Box T
Austin, TX 78713

Thanks,

Judson Watkins

Vote: Should the U.T. of Texas remove its statues of Confederate leaders?
