He wears his uniform of the Confederate Colonel to honor all the men and women that struggled against the Union during the War of Northern Aggression. Colonel Whitt has been recognized by the Kentucky Senate on two occasions for his achievements in historic research and writing ability and also a member of Biltmore's Who's Who. The most important thing is I believe in Jesus and strive to obey.
