Not CSA.
So many have died in defense of that flag that I'm inclined to ban the CSA flag from VA cemeteries too.
But not for the same reason as others want to ban it.
Aren't there CSA cemeteries in the South?
I even support honoring Soviet and German and Japanese soldiers from any era...in their own cemetery.
In mixed cemeteries they should be able to display their own flag.
Part of the idea of welcoming the south back in, and kudos to Grant for doing so, was recognizing that southerners were our countrymen again without trying to force them to forget or deny that for which they mourned. If, as the practice indicates, part of this reconciliation involved planting CSA veterans in VA cemeteries, then let the reconciliation extend to allowing the flag for which they fought to fly over their graves. The north is doing less to reconcile the situation than any time since about 1875.
On Germany’s Veterans Day (or Memorial day) Germans officers visit the U.S. military cemeteries around the tidewater region of Virginia and hold memorial services at the graves of German U boat sailors whose bodies washed ashore and POWs that died in American military hospitals.
Another POS comparing the Confederacy to Japan or Germany in WWII. Those that do this are on the wrong site, they should go to the DU where they belong.
