We handed out over 150 stick flags, and suggested that recipients leave them on the grave of a Confederate soldier before they left for the day. Several dozen Flaggers were on hand for the event, serving in many different capacities and, of course, forwarding the colors.
The President General
of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Commander In Chief of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans were on hand to bring greetings, and I was grateful
for the opportunity to address the attendees on behalf of the Va
Flaggers.
At the close of the
ceremony, I was deeply honored and very pleased to be presented with a flag that
flew proudly over the grave sites of many Confederate Officers and soldiers
during the year at the cemetery. I wish
to express my sincere thanks to Everette Ellis and the Jefferson F. Davis
Memorial Committee for this wonderful gift.
