NC: Confederate Flag to be raised at Seven Springs

 A13
   ENLARGED

The front of the memorial. The back has the names of the fallen heroes and my grandfather's quote 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."

Joseph Powell Pippen, Esq.

    And it is fitting that they should be honored with their flag! (and that is said by me, a Yankee).
