The loss of that battle flag not only represents the heroism of the Confederate color guard, but also the heroism of the Union troops who would have fought bitterly to capture it.

I agree. And it was always considered a disgrace for an army or regiment to lose its flag. The men (or their descendants) who lost that flag in battle are in no position to ask for it back.

“They hate you and want you dead, Lowrey. And us.”

PDJT needs to emphasize that whenever he speaks, because it is literally true.
