Saturday, October 19th saw an overcast, damp day in Richmond, Virginia,
but even so...18 FLAGGERS made their way to the Boulevard to forward the
colors, and protest the removal of Confederate Battle Flags from the
portico of the Confederate Memorial Chapel by the Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts (VMFA). There were many opportunities like this one to talk to
passers-by about the honor and valor of our Confederate Veterans, and
educate them about the flags they fought and died under.
