Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine gave a speech at the site when the statue was unveiled in 2003.? A small plane pulling a red "Sic Semper Tyrannis" (Thus Always to Tyrants) banner flew over the stage as Kaine spoke. Earlier, lusty rebel yells and whistles echoed outside the park gates as other speakers praised Lincoln.

Was that statue ever built? Where? Sorry, my memory wobbles on some details.
