New flag raised by the Virginia Flaggers

On Saturday, October 19, the Virginia Flaggers raised a new, 20′ by 30′ Confederate Battle Flag in Danville, Virginia. The flag was dedicated in honor of Col. Powhatan Bolling Whittle, a Lt. Colonel of the 38th Virginia Infantry. It is the 36th mega flag raised by the Virginia Flaggers and the 17th in Danville.

These flags always bring a smile to my face, because they signify that everyone deserves to be accepted and included, and not just those who mindlessly conform to the norms of the majority.

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.
