The National Park Service Wednesday asked groups operating gift shops at national Civil War battlefields and monuments to pull the Confederate flag and items featuring only the flag — mugs, key chains, T-shirts — from store shelves, said Kathy Kupper, a National Park Service spokeswoman.

The Gettysburg Foundation, which runs the gift shop and book store at the Gettysburg National Military Park visitor Museum and Visitor Center does not plan to pull its Confederate flag items.

Pretty soon, Gettysburg will be just another little town.
With no history.

The Gettysburg Foundation, which runs the gift shop and book store at the Gettysburg National Military Park visitor Museum and Visitor Center does not plan to pull its Confederate flag items.

This is going to put the issue in play in Congress.

Democrats will write a bill to kick the Gettysburg National Military Park visitor Museum and Visitor Center off the site, or otherwise punish them. The Republicans will then be asked to explain whether they plan to go along, or not.

Isnt the NPS the same outfit that prevented old veterans from visiting national war monuments..?

I think people are ready to go out and buy uniforms. Some people are ready to march. And not down the city street waving stupid little placards either.

Libs & Dems would love that wouldn’t they?

This is getting more and more insane every day. Who did the Union fight, the Mighty Ducks?

[Amagi]

I’m going back to Gettysburg soon.

GettysburgFoundation.com online shop don’t have no rebel flags as I can see.

How can you have a Civil War without the Confederate Army? LOL Maybe they will have the Union soldiers fighting an invisible army of Southerners. :^D

They’ll turn the battleground into soccer fields and a green way.

Fabulous book store. Was just there in November. I had already stocked up on flags at Appomattox to give to all my friends in Great Britain who love the old South.

What are they going to do when the next whack job goes and kills a dozen blacks in one sitting?

Apparently they think banning the Rebel Flag will prevent another mass killing.

They haven’t thought this through, because it won’t.

The communists and their black shock troop are pissing people off mightily, and inevitably there will be consequences.

[uncitizen]

Finally someone says no to this insanity.

The turning point in the whole battle was when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

[cradle of freedom]

Now you’re really confusing me. :^D
