Auction to support the Virginia Flaggers

The Virginia Flaggers are holding an auction to celebrate their 13th anniversary and to honor their founder, Barry Isenhour. They created this photo gallery to showcase the items that have been donated. The items include a beautiful “Johnny Reb” sculpture, a cross-stitch picture of Robert E.

Regardless of whether you’re interested in participating (or able to), looking at the collection of Confederate memorabilia will bring a smile to your face.
