Confederate General Jeb Stuart once remarked that he did not want to survive the death of liberty in his country. On May 11, 1864, Stuart was gravely wounded during a Calvary charge, and on May 12, his wish was granted. In this time of immense challenge and opportunity, I think we would all do well to ponder the caliber of such a man, regardless of our political affiliations or heritage.
