The folks at the Lane Armistead SCV Camp #1772 in Mathews County, Virginia completed work over the weekend on their fourth roadside battle flag installation!
At 60', this is their tallest pole to date and flies in a great location on Rt. 14 just outside of Mathews, where a dedication ceremony will be held this Saturday at noon.
Ya can't keep a Good Flag Down !
(Info and pictures from From the VA Flaggers )
Amen!

ReplyDelete" It was not the flag of the Confederacy, but simply the banner, the battle-flag, of the Confederate soldier. As such it should not share in the condemnation which our cause received, or suffer from its downfall. The whole world can unite in a chorus of praise to the gallantry of the men who followed where this banner led."
