Stone Mountain is another family tradition. During the summer the park puts on a laser show. It's displayed on the side of the mountain with the carving of three Confederate leaders on their horses: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. The show always has the traditional, favorite songs: the bubbly soda song, "God Bless America", "Georgia On My Mind", "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", and "Sweet Home Alabama". And they display all the local professional and college teams and everyone hollers for their favorite. And it gets a little crazy. And some people still have a lot of Southern Pride. But no matter where you're from and no matter how much you resist, when they've got fireworks shooting off and Robert E. Lee's image is shown breaking his sword and the music is swelling, you get a little emotional. It's tradition.
