"The Confederate battle flag was a soldier’s
flag. It was born on the battlefield and carried by the men who were
fighting to defend our country from an enemy bent not on liberation, but
conquest. Are we to take it down then, and meekly acquiesce
in the perpetuation of that colossal lie that has been leveled against
us for 150 years? Or should we let it fly to honor the truth and the men
who fought under it?" - Va Flagger/Author H.V. "Bo" Traywick, Jr.
