Please help this dream become
a reality! The sole purpose of CMP is to honor the over 52,000
imprisoned in Point Lookout and the over 14,000 who died
there ... military/civilian, men/women/children of all races.
This will be done by erecting a POW statue, state flags,
native state trees/flowers, memorial benches, flood lights,
etc.
In Their Memory

A Song Written about
Pt. Lookout's POWs!
Song Writer/recording artist, Robert
Lloyd has written and recorded a song (Let Freedom
Ring) about our Flag battle at Pt. Lookout. He has
done this as an effort to raise money for Confederate
Memorial Park. His letter is as follows:
Via news articles and such, I have kept
up on your valiant fight for the proper flying of the
Confederate flag over the Confederate graves and the
memorial that has been proposed. May the Lord bless
your work and help in its eventual fruition. The disrespect
of the ‘empire’ through the workings of
its godless National Park Service is just more in the
long line of 140 years of rewriting and covering up
history and the truth ... Robert Lloyd, Ft. Myers,
FL
The other songs on the CD are all sung
by PLPOW's own Wade Harris. Some of the songs, such as "The
Flag" and "The Storms of Life," he composed.
Wade is accompanied by Ronnie "Lightening" Daeke
on the dobro, Richard "Terrapin" Winstead on
the harmonica and Wade Hampton"Pete" Wright on
snares!
I tried to put myself in the first
person of a prisoner, what the thought, what he had
to look forward to "if" he got back home.
What he found was heart breaking. Most found poverty
and hunger, which ruined the health of allot of people
who were left behind to care for the homestead. Information
handed down to me from my family was that my Pt. Lookout
ancestor's health was bad and the "ritis" boys
had moved in. The cold with not enough clothing, the
starvation diet, the lack of medical attention, all
contributed to his suffering for the rest of his life.
My other relative, Uncle John, who is under that yankee
stone (I hope) didn't make it back. Their other brother
Pickney, died in Richmond and is buried at Hollywood
Cemetery. As you see, even if they survived, that "Storm
of Life" was hanging over them for the rest of
their days.
There are enough Confederate descendants
in this country to overcome any problem we have if
they would just "do something." If my effort
is in any way helpful to get the job done, then I have
done my duty and honored my ancestor in doing so. I
hope this project is successful. I hope to see any
funds we raise, used to complete Confederate Memorial
Park to honor our heritage and the good name of those
men who gave their all....Wade Harris from Youngsville,
NC.
Our sincerest THANKS to Robert Lloyd
and Wade Harris, not only for their generous offer in this
labor of love, but for caring enough to keep the memory
of our CSA-POW ancestors alive! In the words of William
Wallace ... F-R-E-E-D-O-M! May Freedom Ring someday
{soon} loud, clear and long for those who gave their all
and are buried on land and sea at Pt. Lookout, as well
as the lingering Confederate spirits who still haunt its
grounds.
The grounds of Pt. Lookout are rumbling
with the cries of POWs for their cherished battle flag!
Confederate Memorial Park’s purpose is to return
the POWs’ flag and to honor their memory and sacrifice
with a POW statue and state flags. You can help by purchasing
this CD. Thank you.
