This morning, after extensive weather and construction delays, but in God’s perfect timing, we quietly raised a 10’x 15’ Confederate battle flag on a 50’ pole in Petersburg, Virginia. Dedicated to the glory of God, and in memory and honor of all of our Confederate dead, this site was dedicated in particular to honor Gen A. P. Hill, who was mortally wounded nearby.
The landowner contacted us shortly after the city of Petersburg voted to change the name of nearby A P Hill Elementary School, furious at those who chose to dishonor our veterans and attempt to rewrite Petersburg’s rich Confederate history and heritage.
The Petersburg Boydton Plank Rd. Gen AP Hill Memorial Battle Flag is the 29th flag raised by the Va Flaggers in the Commonwealth since the fall of 2013, and like those raised before her, will fly as a 24/7 reminder that there are still those of us who will not go quietly into the night in the face of vicious and hateful attacks on our history, our heritage, and the men who bravely fought to defend the Commonwealth from invasion.
A formal dedication ceremony is planned for later this fall.
