The preservation of liberty and freedom
guaranteed by our forefathers and embodied in the US Constitution of
1788, motivated these men to leave their loved ones and take up arms,
and driven by duty and honor, they answered the call to defend their
State from invasion. Their noble attributes are the underpinning of our
republican society and represent the foundation on which this nation was
built. These citizen-soldiers of all races, creeds, and faiths, who
fought for the Confederacy, personified the best qualities of America.
As the sons and daughters of these gallant men, The Virginia Flaggers,
along with the numerous benefactors and supporters of this flag, believe
that it is our "...duty to see that the true history of the South is
presented to future generations." (Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee,
CSA) It is our prayer that this flag will serve as a call for all
Southerners to rise up, rally to our standard, and join the fight to
defend our history and heritage, the honor of the Confederate soldier,
the flags they fought and died beneath, and the monuments and memorials
erected in their memory.
The Charlottesville I-64 Spirit of Defiance Memorial Battle Flag is the 27th
memorial battle flag raised on major interstates and roadways across
the Commonwealth by the Virginia Flaggers since the fall of 2013. We
received the offer of land and began work on the project shortly after
Charlottesville City Council, led by disgraced City Councilman Wes
Bellamy and Former City Councilman Kristen Szakos, voted to violate
state law and attempt to tear down the magnificent Robert E. Lee and
Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson equestrian memorials in Lee and Jackson
Parks in the city.
Over a year later, we are pleased to report that the monuments still
stand, and are now joined by the first roadside Memorial Battle Flag in
the Charlottesville area.
She will fly as a 24/7 reminder that the same spirit of defiance that
drove our ancestors to take up arms in 1776 and 1861 is alive and well
in us today and will not allow us to remain silent or sit idly by as our
ancestors are the subjects of false narratives and lies by those who,
driven by ignorance and hate, seek to destroy our history and heritage.

My grand father would love to know where to buy a flag this size. He would like to purchase one to put on his property in Charlottesville, VA. His grandfather was killed in Gettysburg. So he wants one to honor him and put up
It is correct that we are a republic most people call it democracy but we are a republic it's in pledge allegiance. This means we can have more than one Viewpoint for one that's why we have two main parties Democrat and republican. Ladies and gentlemen I helped to get my high school name changed from Lee Davis to Mechanicsville High School because everybody knows this heritage is a Heritage against black people who were murdered women raped being hung for smiling at somebody female who is white doing nothing wrong being beat half to death that's our heritage when it comes to that Confederate flag. Why did we still have people that want to hold on to that incredibly evil aspiration of harming one group of Americans? This is insane it's childish and all these monuments were put there in Richmond somewhere around 1930 to let black people know you're never going to win and become a citizen with equal rights. That's why in 1958 this new school was named Lee Davis to let black students know with integration we're not going to care about you. Grow up and realize Jesus Christ in the Bible let us know if you can't recognize all the people this isn't an exact quote like I recognize all human beings and if you have any reason to not do that then you will not enter the kingdom of God. Christ looks at us as the same and it's time this nonsense was stopped voluntarily and get all things all symbols that represent hate for any race in the world to be removed and we love each other equally. I don't know exactly how to operate this thing it says Anonymous right there I'm not Anonymous I'm a human being writing this and my name is Larry Johnson. I fight for freedom for all people and that is the way of God. You all think when Jesus Christ comes again he's going to tell black people you're going to go to hell and all white people are high up or something above everybody else? The first shall be last and the last shall be first and that's a good thing and if you think you was white skin I'm a white person or better than other ethnicities on this planet you're crazy. We white people doing nothing to show that we're not at the top of the Heap. I am 73 years old and I cannot believe this kind of thing still goes on in this country.
