[VAcourier] 145th Anniversary of the death of Lt. General A.P. Hill

[Virginia Division SCV Communication List]

Patrick Falci, who was our guest speaker at the Lee-Jackson Day 
Observance in Ashland last Friday evening, asked me to post this 
invitation to all SCV members in Virginia to attend the memorial 
ceremony of the 145th Anniversary of the death of Lt. General A.P. Hill. 
Mr. Falci portrayed A.P. Hill in the movie Gettysburg and will once 
again join us in Virginia on April 2nd. I was able to attend this 
memorial ceremony last year and it is an experience that I will always 
remember. I hope you will be able to attend this year to share the 
experience. Additional information on the exact location of the ceremony 
and driving directions will be posted as soon as they are available.


John Sawyer, Commander
Virginia Division SCV

Dear Compatriots:

Friday, April 2nd, 2010 will mark the 145th anniversary of the death of 
Lt. Gen. A.P. Hill. As I have done since 2000, I will hold a special 
memorial ceremony at the Petersburg deathsite of our beloved general. We 
will honor the general at 12:00 p.m. This should give all those who wish 
to attend time to make arrangements.

For anyone in the Richmond area, we will also be laying a wreath this 
year at Gen. Hill's monument at Laburnum Ave. and Hermitage Rd. at 10:30 
that morning.

All members of the A.P. Hill Camp 167, the Norfolk County Grays Camp 
1549, the Cold Harbor Guard Camp 1764, the Dearing-Beauregard Camp 1813, 
and all SCV camps and interested parties are welcome to attend the 
ceremony as we remember the life of an American hero.

All are welcome.


Lest we forget,

Patrick Falci
