“Huffman’s amendment is mostly symbolic and applies only to instances in which Confederate flags are flown on flagpoles over mass graves. The amendment would not ban the display of small Confederate flags placed at individual graves. Such displays are generally permitted on Memorial Day and Confederate Memorial Day in the states that observe it.”
Can’t find the text.
Next will be the individual flags.Anything to destroy the South. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. I am fed up! STATES RIGHTS IDIOTS! EVER HEARD of the 10th Amendment?????????????
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
If that is the case, then this is a swipe at the likes of Pt. Lookout here in MD. I was surprised to find it is under the auspices of the Baltimore Nat’l Cem near me, as if it was indeed a VA cem. It is a mass grave of prisoners and it has a monument and flagpoles.
I can appreciate the other general implications, but if it IS a CSA site, then there should be no reason not to allow that. Otherwise, it makes sense to drop CS cems from the VA system.
Funny, down the street from Balto Natl is (besides an older version of itself) a CSA ground within wonderful Loudon Park. No fed connection, but has been well taken care of by SCV and the cem.
