New flag raised by the Virginia Flaggers
On Saturday, October 19, the Virginia Flaggers raised a new, 20′ by 30′ Confederate Battle Flag in Danville, Virginia. The flag was dedicated in honor of Col. Powhatan Bolling Whittle, a Lt. Colonel of the 38th Virginia Infantry. It is the 36th mega flag raised by the Virginia Flaggers and the 17th in Danville.

These flags always bring a smile to my face, because they signify that everyone deserves to be accepted and included, and not just those who mindlessly conform to the norms of the majority.
You can read more information on their blog, watch a video of the flag raising here or here, and see their Instagram post here.

Update from Valor Memorial Park
Valor Memorial Park, a park in North Carolina honoring all veterans, continues to grow. Here is their latest update:
“We’ve started the rock flower bed around Chatham. It will be like Davidson. The rocks are granite…donated from Joes worksite. There will be a sidewalk on the outside of that, a brick column at each corner with lights on top, and brick benches off the columns. We’ll be there all day Sunday.”
It is cool to see the work being done to beautify and honor these statues. Read more and see pictures at their Facebook post.
