The flag that should fly in National cemetaries is the Stars and Stripes.
So you’d dig up the thousands of Confederate soldiers who are buried there too, I suppose.
Yep...and dig up all them Johnnie Rebs while you are at it.
Truthfully...lots of people fought for the south and returned to the reassembled country after the war.
I have never given this much thought to the Confederate flag before this. It’s getting a little bit crazy, imho.
You HONOR the MEN who fought and died under that BANNER even if you don’t like the banner.
They were still AMERICANS.
“The flag that should fly in National cemetaries is the Stars and Stripes.”
Would it be ok to acknowledge the confederacy in, say, the Confederate Cemetery in Fredericksburg, VA?
Apparently not, because the National Park Service has removed that one and others from it’s website.
The NPS should immediately turn those cemeteries over to those who care about our national heritage, since they can’t seem to give a damn.
As for you, why do you think these cemeteries have been preserved for 150 years?
If American Soldiers that fought for the Confederacy cannot be acknowledged, then who will give a damn when the political winds turn against Arlington Cemetery? Think that’s far fetched? I don’t.
the Stars and Stripes brought more slaves here than the Stars and Bars EVER did.
Unless Confederate soldiers are buried there. The Confederacy was a LEGALLY SEPARATE COUNTRY when these men died. If you follow this logical course, then no American flags should be flying over the cemetery in Normandy. They should only fly the Fernch flag.
