DITTO Tamaroa! I also agree with you! I am a SCV member here in SE Georgia and when I go to the Confederate Memorial cemetery in Waynesville,GA on April 26th for Confederate Memorial Day I also return in May for Memorial Day to place a US flag on the WW1 veterans' grave that is also in the cemetery. Because we are all members of the biggest fraternity those who served in the military. Someday we will depend on a stranger to remember to honor our memory and decorate our grave with the proper respect and Flag. God bless the Veteran because he served his country when others wouldn't and protected their rights anyway. So when you hear about someone or some group protesting the St.Andrews Cross (Confederate Battle Flag) remember its the Confederate Veteran they are protesting because it's their flag they carried in battle not the 1st National or later CSA flags to fly over Richmond,VA which flew over the South as Old Glory fly over the US from inception . So truth be known the Old Glory we all love as Americans has flown over Slaves longer then any CSA flag ever did. BTW my Wifes GrGr Uncle John Eason was held as a POW at Point Lookout,MD two months after the War Between the States was over he was released in June 1865.John W Eason of Union Co. NC Pvt, Co D, 37th Reg at age 22 was a Volunteer entered service on Sept 16, 1861.On his Roll of Honor* paperwork it list him being wounded at Chancellorville on May 3 ,1863 .
