Robert Kirkland was the Angel of Marye Heights. He was a Confederate soldier from South Carolina. Hours after a dramatic Union loss he asked his superiors to help suffering Union soldiers. Kirkland brought canteens and solace to soldiers in pain. He risked his life to console soldiers before their death. He deserves to be remembered as a brave hero because of his humanitarian actions at Marye Heights.
Kirkland exemplifies the concept: When you have a choice to be right and kind. Choose kind.
