Mississippi Veterans Monument
An interesting monument in the heart of downtown Jackson. The inscriptions at the monument to read and reflect is the oath of office which is:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

beau monument en hommage aux veterans
Is this near the Old Capitol?
Let's go to the parade this weekend! We can get loads of material for the blog. :)
I remember that oath from when I took it in January, 1955! Looks like a nice memorial.
