I agree with you on this. It is a matter of respect for the wounded veterans and their families.

I pity the poor wounded, both mentally and physically. I'd love to think that all disputes could be solved with peace talks, but know that isn't so. War continues whatever happens. Bless you for bringing up this difficult subject. Who knows what the present would be like without those who fought?Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-45665744193192596342013-05-03T07:38:14.896-04:002013-05-03T07:38:14.896-04:00I do not see the need for any flags needed to be d...I do not see the need for any flags needed to be displayed at a facility other than those that fit the association. Say the SD state flag, the US flag or flags representing units that the vets represent. I do believe that the "Confederate" flag is used by haters but it is also used by others that are not. I chose to fly the SC flag because to me it represents SC's strong independent streak from prior to the Revolution. I would pledge my allegiance to my state before my Federal gov't any day.Carolina HeartStringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292841944812910360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-80187262059107226582013-05-02T07:40:30.927-04:002013-05-02T07:40:30.927-04:00I am tired of hearing that it's a reflection o...I am tired of hearing that it's a reflection of Southern pride (don't ask me for what...)- would you want the Germans to exhibit their pride with a Nazi emblem?Cerebrations.bizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273098928740152430noreply@blogger.com
