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 death site 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 Guards 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
