First, because it reveals that we have not "disappeared" (neither are we likely to do so) and secondly because these are unique "casualties" that require their own banner of recognition. The present soldiery have their POW/MIA flag, so why not these poor souls who did not even have the glory of dying in combat but were tortured and starved and butchered by men who were never brought to justice and, in fact, were LAUDED for their "service" to the Union. Anonymous, God bless him/her, has the right mindset, but he is only one in a culture that is fast forgetting (often on purpose) the evils of the past. As was once said by Santayana (among others), those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.Val Protohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277237062954716520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10180522.post-7527720455075390802011-06-06T22:27:58.764-05:002011-06-06T22:27:58.764-05:00I don't need a "new" flag - just loo...I don't need a "new" flag - just looking at the Battle Flag brings all that back to mind, as it IS the 'Battle" flag and stands for the battles of the fight for the South's freedom. Every time I see the Battle flag or the CSA National flag, all I can think of are who who died for the South's freedom from the North's tyranny, and how they were so badly tortured and experimented on in those hell camps by the Yankees to do it. I have two large Confederate flags flying for many years out in front of my house, and every time I go out front, I remember all those lives that God only knows, who so bravely fought and stood for our beloved South nation of states. It also makes me feel the sorrow they must have on the other side as they watch us DO NOTHING TODAY. We unfortunately are not those brave souls as they were ! Oh to see that courage again here in our beloved South nation. As for "another " flag to add to the long list of flags we already confuse everyone of other nations with (especially the US), I get all the memories from just seeing the two official CSA flags we have had for the past 150 years. Keep 'em flying !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
