It has been a busy day filled with meetings, a ceremony, a banquet, family trauma, and just about everything else it is possible to cram into a single day. The highlight, however, has to be the Sons of the American Revolution dedication at the
Hite Family Cemetery. It was very dramatic with a
color guard, taps, and all the trappings of a ceremony honoring a dead hero. Toward the end, the Master of Ceremonies approached my seat on the front row of chairs and presented me with a flag and certificate honoring Major Isaac
Hite, Jr. "on behalf of a grateful nation" as one of the
heros who earned us the freedom we now have. I accepted it on behalf of all Isaac
Hite Descendants and the
Hite Family Association. At the banquet tonight, I presented it to the Board of Belle Grove as a repository of the memories and belongings of the
Hite Family. I think Ian was impressed. I know I certainly was. There was a
Revolutionary Era flag flying over the cemetery.
