Judge: Confederate Marker Must Move

"After the ruling and outside the courthouse, a tense situation had to be defused between two members of the Fredericksburg Area Veterans Council and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The two exchanged sharp words before being separated by their peers without further incident. The SCV marker sits on a corner of land near Maury Commons upon which the Fredericksburg Area Veterans Council had erected a monument to Fredericksburg soldiers who served in 20th and 21st century armed conflicts."

Dan's ancestor is buried there. Also my reply to this travesty was the posting of my grandfather's words which Dan had picked to place on the Whitehall Memorial. More pictures at link below.

"I say we cannot know your suffering, but this we do know; We love and honour you, veterans, and are justly proud of the heritage you have given us. Just so long as warm blood flows in the veins of man, so long will the words 'Confederate Veteran' cause that blood to tingle with glorious pride, and, if there be one among us, born in our glorious Southland who is not so thrilled, every drop of stagnant blood proclaims him bastard to the South-a coward to all the world."

  1. Great post Brock. These Progressive judges are an embarrassment. It appears that they are determined to destroy all that is sacred in our history.

    How can they in clear conscience dishonor those who gave their all for our country?

    Actually, I can answer that. They could care less. The judge's ruling is as unfortunate as it is unjust.

  2. They could care less.

    Unfortunately, you hit the nail on the head
