US Soldier in Uniform rendered salutes. The American flag was waving beside the rebel flag.
A unique fixture among veterans of the civil war is that they honored each other respectfully in following decades.
They had reunions at battlefields.
Everyone from the presidents on down had open arms for each other.

This this modern bunch of yahoos thinks they have more of a right to be offended than the ones who were there.

I did a search on the name Gen James W. Moore and found out that there is a judge, by that name, in AL, and he is a Junior. Kind of interesting.
