Robert E. Lee's Last Words

Robert E. Lee's last words are reported to be "Strike the Tent".  This was a term that meant to take the tent down . . . time to move on if you will.  Lee was a man of profound faith, and this would indicate that he viewed his own death not as an end but as moving on to what would come next.
