Earlier
today, the Va Flaggers raised a 10’x15’ Memorial Battle flag on a 50’
pole on property adjacent to Route 40 in Franklin County.
At
the request of the landowner, the flag was dedicated to the Glory of
God, in memory and honor of all Confederate soldiers, and specifically
to honor the men who fought in the 10th Va Cavalry, Co K along side his
ancestor, who is buried nearby.
Due to restrictions in place in the Commonwealth, we were unable to have a ceremony, nor have any of our folks even attend the flag raising. We will have a formal dedication when it is deemed safe to to do so. Stay tuned for updates.
We
would like to offer our sincere thanks to Sky High Poles for their help with this installation, each and every one of you whose generous
support makes these projects possible, and the men of the Lt Gen Wade
Hampton SCV Camp 273, Columbia, SC who donated the first flag that was
raised at the site today.
This is the 31st roadside Memorial battle flag that the Va Flaggers have raised in the Commonwealth since September of 2013.
The
attacks against the honor and virtue of our Confederate dead have
reached a fevered pitch in the Commonwealth. Our Governor is poised to
sign legislation, thanks to a new democratic majority in our
legislature, that will allow localities to destroy war memorials. For
every flag or monument moved or removed, we promise another will rise to
take its place. It’s the least we can do, considering their sacrifice.
We have not yet begun to fight.
We have not yet begun to fight.
All glory to God.
All honor the the Confederate soldier.
