Jamestown Not Worthy of Celebration?

“You can’t celebrate an invasion.” ~ Mary Wade of the 2007 Jamestown steering committee

“For a whole year or more we shall celebrate the fact that a bunch of British buffoons who knew nothing of what they were doing colonized a swamp for the sake of Christianizing Indians.” ~ Virginia Gazette

Amazing. I have an ancestor who was one of the original Jamestown settlers and my wife has a great-great grandfather who, we believe, was a Monacan Indian. We will BOTH be celebrating Jamestown's 400th Anniversary. My ancestors were not buffoons. They were brave souls and pioneers who helped settle this Nation. And my wife is very thankful that many Indians were "Christianized"--depsite some of the evil perpetrated upon some of her ancestors. Just more political correctness and history revisionist pap.
