Rankin County Confederate Monument

The monument honors Confederate soldiers from Rankin County with tributes to those who wore the grey, praising their bravery, faithfulness, and devotion to states rights, home rule, and enduring principles. Its inscriptions declare that heroes in grey will live on in memory, that the soldier who falls with his country is remembered in the hearts of those who love the right and honor the brave, and that though men die, principles live forever. It also mourns those who fell under the "Stars and Bars," invokes judgment day, and closes with a prayer to the Lord God of Hosts: "Be With Us Yet, Lest We Forget, Lest We Forget."
