CSA: the Soldier and the Flag
I had a great great grandfather and two great grandfathers who fought for the Confederacy. A great great uncle of mine was killed at Franklin, Tennessee. And these are just those I have traced my genealogy back to so far. I'm certain there were others."To tar the sacrifice of the Confederate soldier as simple acts of racism, and reduce the battle flag under which he fought to nothimg more than a symbol of a racist heritage, is one of the great blasphemies of the modern age." U.S. Senator James Webb of Virginia when he was still Secretary of the Navy.
Well said, Senator.
