Lee was a Southerner and refused to participate in the invasion of seceded states which, as you may or may not know, included his home state of Virginia.

Do you know who George Thomas was?

John Bell Hood sure did.

For anyone that wants to know I rode by there today to view this flag and take a picture of it.

Apparently they only fly it on those days when News crews want to see it or when they want News Crews to see it.

I saw only the pole and it was either covered in rust or a crappy brown Primer.

As a side note I saw a hell of a lot more Star and Stripes on taller poles including one on the other side of the Highway that was hung off a mobile crane in defiance of the absent banner.

Do you know who George Thomas was?

He is remembered down South as a traitor and his blood kin disowned him during The War of Northern Aggression. After the war, he never returned to the South and was buried in New York. None of his blood relatives attended his funeral.

Lee, on the other hand, was just after the war, and today, widely recognized and respected both north and south of the Mason/Dixon line. Lee is also known as a man of honor and character by all but a few, like yourself, whose fierce hatred for the South has clouded your judgement.
