Battle Flag.

I support the Battle Flag of my great grand father to honor his courage.

He defended his home state of Virginia, for four years against an invading army!

He had broken no law. Instead he faced overwhelming forces, better armed, and vastly outnumbered! And kept them at bay for four years.

That is something worth honoring! And if "those people" can not understand that concept I do not know what else to say.The hate groups who have adopted the Battle Flag are out of my control, but the honor my ancestors deserve for their efforts will not be lost in the mist of time.

Y'all Come!

My Friend Mike sent me an invitation !

Figgured I'd share it with Y'all !

BECAUSE I SAID SO !

"Because I Said So" ?

Who died and made this clown KING ?

Take a minute and watch the video, I have no idea who trained this buffoon.

But as a security guard myself you NEVER, make it personal - NEVER !!!

I cant understand the illogical I am the Alpha, Omega /

KING KONG, El supremo, King Foo Foo, statement made by this security guard at the VMFA !

I'm quite sure this man does not set policy, but he seems to think HIS word is law!

I don't know what bus stop the security company is dragging folks like this in from :
but he has no business wearing a shield!

Yes as a security guard your not a real police officer,
but your conduct should be much better than is displayed by this man!

Real People on the Front Line !

It's Just a photo collection of every day people!

Doing what they feel is right !

Forwarding the Colors!

They don't hide behind Computers, not protected by the walls of a blog!

In the streets, on the front lines.
They don't get paid to do it, and they ain't doin it for fame!

Like our Confederate ancestors they do it from their heart!

Lexington VA !

Richmond VA, At the VMFA!



John Taylor, as a police officer he put his life on the line!
And his wife who waited at home, every night never knowing if -----
She is the true hero!




Susan Hathaway and Elizabeth Wilson!


Two beautiful young women!


Both who have courage. They endure insults and keep their composure!





Mr Robert Wagner.
This Guy Scares me ! And I ain't afraid Of nothing !

Lexington VA Again!

Flagging the Hallmark Lady!

At the Pelham Chapel.

Just regular folks, who wish to right a wrong!

God bless em!

This guy is a good friend of mine !
He wishes he could flag more often!

I wish to thank every one who has the courage to do whats right!

RESPECT !

It's a hot day and you are walking through town , your feet are smokin hot from the concrete and asphalt, you pass by a lush green lawn, it has a sign, "Please Keep Off The Grass"

It doesn't say "No Trespassing" so would it be "proper" to take your shoes off and walk across the lawn ?

Your not walking across the lawn to damage it, but your poor feet are hot, so you say what's the harm? You also say I'm not breaking any law since the sign is a request!

Can you see where I'm coming from ?

Would it be "PROPER" to walk across the grass?

Connie Chastain @ http://one80dts.blogspot.com has at her blog a note requesting that you not reprint material without permission!

Basically the same thing, so out of respect should you should follow her request?

I say yes ! Respect and Honor are seriously lacking in today's society !

But some folks just don't care, It's more important to inflate their blog hits by using controversial methods and ignoring scruples!

It's a sad state of affairs. This reflects directly upon the pirate who ignored a polite request !

Bad Luck ?

If only Capt. Francesco Schettino had served with Gen. Lee at Gettysburg the outcome would have been different. After all, anybody who has the Bad Luck to trip and fall into a life boat on a sinking ship: thats the kind of guy you need on your side!

Yes I support the VA Flaggers!

Shortly before his passing my Great Grand Father: John C Tatum, who was a member of the Richmond Howitzers was a patient at the RE Lee camp #1 in Richmond Virginia.
The picture above is a copy of his discharge papers form the facility!

The VMFA has removed the Confederate flags from the chapel ! And I am informed this is a violation of VA State law.

But law or no law it's wrong to do so !

So given my family connection to the chapel and the RE Lee camp I do have a legitimate interest in what happens there.

I have on one occasion joined the Flaggers to protest this action. However my work prevents me from joining them as much as I would like.

So to thank the folks who carry the colors I made some ribbons for them. Just my way of saying thanks, and staying involved!


Well wouldn't ya know it, some Yankee bloggers have taken a cheap shot at this action.

My question to them is " What's it to you?" No tax dollars were spent I made them at my cost and send them for free to the Flaggers. Why do I have to be a "Nut" to do what I have done?

But as always anything Confederate is open to attack by folks who have nothing better to do!

Hey fellas get a life ! Promote your heritage, quit knocking mine! What I am doing doesn't cost you a cent. And it sure as Hell is not spreading a lie or hate!

So if you will please just tell me why it offends you I would appreciate it!
