As part of its "Flags Across the Carolinas" project, the North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has unveiled a massive confederate flag along Interstate 95 in Cumberland County.

    I currently live in Vernal, Utah, but I grew up in Spring Lake, North Carolina, where my father, mother, and stepmother are buried.

    Oh, so many years ago, when I was a boy in Cumberland County, you could buy a Confederate flag or Confederate souvenirs in any local store, but now all of that has disappeared.
