HERITAGE OF THE PAST, INSPIRATION FOR THE FUTURE The years 1961-1965 commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the War Between the States— from the time that the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter in April, 1861, to the heart-breaking surrender at Appomattox in another April, 1865. The Virginia Civil War Centennial Commission plans to re-enact several of the major battles and to depict other aspects of the War. The purpose of this observance is to stimulate interest and to arouse appreciation of the sacrifices of both North and South during these war-torn years. The 1961 Missile joins in this observance by using this War as its theme. The heritage of the past, from the War Between the States, offers to America its inspiration for the future. This heritage is built on perhaps the greatest show of heroism, bravery, and devotion to ideals that has ever been known. Petersburg, Virginia, was the area of some of the bloodiest engagements. The Battle of the Crater claimed hundreds of lives from both the Gray and the Blue. An outstanding example of the devotion of the South was in the small force of boys and old men which went out to defend the city from the Northern forces. “To do and dare, and die at need, But while life lasts, to fight — For right or wrong a simple creed, But simpliest for the right.” Gettysburg”, by James Jeffrey Roche four
