My mistake, I don't know why I said Luray, when I knew full well it was New Market. Although it's been many years, I vaguely remember seeing that memorial. I was also moved seeing Lee's tomb there at W&L.
Something else I bet a lot of folks didn't know: Arlington National Cemetery is situated on Robert E. Lee's estate. I THINK it was originally his wife's property.
