Well, to start this off, recall that Ga Gov Roy Barnes removed the 1956
Ga State Flag, and that the Ga Div UDC awarded him their Jefferson Davis
Medal, PLUS invited Barnes to be guest speaker at a Confederate Memorial
Day service in Marietta a few years ago.
The Confederate cemetery in Richmond Virginia known as Hollywood has
thousands of US flags placed on Confederate Graves by a Richmond Chapter
of UDC.
The North Carolina Division UDC is being sued over their collusion with
the government to remove a Confederate Statue illegally by citizens who
desire to see it replaced in it's original location.
The National UDC has stated they refuse to assist in any efforts to
restore 2 Confederate Battleflags on a Confederate Memorial Chapel in
Virginia, and went so far as to refuse to allow the Va Flaggers to stand
on, or walk across their property. When a group of Flaggers (including
children, UDC members, and a uniformed SCV Color Guard) stepped up on
the edge of their property to take a photo, UDC officials actually
called the police!
So as I was reading 2 stories today about Confederate Memorial Services
hosted by the UDC here in Georgia, I see the same mentality mentioned
above
HERE
It is not the fact that the AoT Battleflag is upside down, but that the
flags marking the graves are being removed after the service, which
leads to the obvious question, WHY?
That is small compared to this
HERE
As with Gov Barnes, they had a very special guest speaker at their
service, Former Augusta Mayor Bob Young, again the question is
WHY?!
For those not familiar with Young, read:
