Residents Demand Removal of Fredericksburg I-95 Memorial Battle Flag - Our Response

Efforts to take down Confederate battle flag in Stafford revive

Stafford residents want board to take stand against Confederate flag on private property along I-95

About two dozen residents showed up at the Stafford County board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday night to demand the removal of the Fredericksburg I-95 Roadside Memorial Battle Flag.

Details here:

We just received an inquiry from a reporter who wanted to know if we had any plans to remove the flag.  Here's our response:

"The Va Flaggers have no plans to remove any of our 26 Roadside Memorial Battle Flags across the Commonwealth, including the Fredericksburg Memorial Battle Flag on I-95 in Stafford County. In fact, in light of the recent attempts by the Governor and a few local politicians to encourage the destruction of Confederate Memorials, we intend to fast track the installation of several new projects in the next few months.

Just like our monuments, these Memorial flag sites honor and remember our Confederate dead, and will not be lowered or removed to appease the PC demands of a small, but very vocal and violent minority."

Just wanted to let each one of you know where we stand, and thank you for your continued prayers and support.

  2. Never lower the flags. Ever.

  3. Do these folks have the slightest notion that the fastest way to get people who wouldn't care one way or the other to be angered to the point of defiance, is to forbid them to raise a flag on their own property? As a confirmed northerner, that flag will not be my flag, nor on my flagpole. But those bastards will surely move the goal posts soon enough to something I do care about. Tyrants have to tyrant. Small town Midwesterners will find more common ground with old school southerners than coastal elitists any day.

      Yes and the Democrats want to pick up seats in the Midwest, but this will not help them.

  4. The American way to remove a flag from an offensive location is to buy that location with your own money. Then do whatever the heck you like with it.

    Only the communist tries to community organize other people's property to suit himself.
