A parade aimed at honoring veterans has turned into a battle over the Confederate flag.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that the flag could not fly in Saturday's Old Soldiers Day parade in Alpharetta. The parade is a decades-long tradition.
"We thought we'd come and check it out," said Ken Leiker, who came to see the parade with his family. "We've heard about all the old soldiers and all the pagentry. So far, it's been a lot of fun."

"I like the flags and all of the stuff and the trumpets too," said young Abby Towe, who was there with her parents.
