I was a tad shocked, also. Must have something to do with that little Gettysburg dustup..................

Unofficial. Observed by the Pennsylvania Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Yup, I can imagine there was a time when such a thing would have been scowled upon by my Pennsylvania ancestors, which include George Gordon Meade. I guess things are different now.

But have you noticed how this type of thread seems to pick the scab off a wound that's trying to heal? All it seems to take is one person showing disrespect to another's great-great grandparents and suddenly we're fighting amongst ourselves...

It's too bad, that's all. We've got real enemies to defend against, and breaking up into squabbling factions like this is counter-productive, IMHO.
