Auction to support the Virginia Flaggers
The Virginia Flaggers are holding an auction to celebrate their 13th anniversary and to honor their founder, Barry Isenhour. They created this photo gallery to showcase the items that have been donated. The items include a beautiful “Johnny Reb” sculpture, a cross-stitch picture of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, a Nathan Bedford Forrest pin, a Robert E. Lee marble tabletop monument, various Confederate related fine art prints, and many more cool things. Regardless of whether you’re interested in participating (or able to), looking at the collection of Confederate memorabilia will bring a smile to your face.
Lee, forever free, riding in the Texas sun

The second coming of Robert E. Lee
The Civil War artifact store Union Drummer Boy, located in Gettysburg, PA, is the new home of a statue of Robert E. Lee.
The store announced earlier this month:
“We are honored to have acquired this special statue of General Robert E. Lee by Rudolph Evans. This wonderfully executed statue was the artist study for his bronze which was completed for the University of Virginia where it stood until 2020 and was removed. This example stands at 8 feet 3 inches. Stop by and see him in person!”
As a commenter on the Facebook post correctly stated: “Awesome! Huge loss for University of Virginia. Huge win for Union Drummer Boy.”
Visit the Union Drummer Boy Facebook page here, and their website here.

Photo of Robert E. Lee from 1862
This Facebook post from Road to the Civil War notes that despite being the highest ranking general in the Confederate army, Lee wore three stars on his collar, signifying the rank of colonel. Some great commentary in the comments section, including the following comment which I am going to quote in its entirety below:
160 years later and people saying “we won” and “you lost”. None of you won or lost anything. You weren’t there. You can’t even imagine life without a cell phone, internet and fast food. Much less not having electricity, cars or even simple medications like antibiotics. It was a different time and those were different people. The big problem in this country today isn’t a North and South issue. This country is divided now on everything from race to party politics. More than it was back then. People hating on each other in real time on social media. Y’all be liking the same foods, music and football team and then want to kill each other over some fruit loop political ideologies. And then pointing your finger at some guy from 160 years ago critiquing his mindset. Like they’re living in this messed up moronic world you call your home today. Look closely into a mirror. Real close. See all those imperfections? They’re not just on the outside.
