Confederate
Battle Flag |
|
|
THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG
LOCATION -
In the Open Air Flag Museum.
(This is the flag pole where the
Confederate Battle Flag flew for over forty years.)
40 YEARS without a problem! |
|
The Confederate Battle Flag was
ordered taken down by Mayor Jeff Longwell
JULY 2, 2015
It had flown here in VETERANS
MEMORIAL PARK FOR OVER
40 YEARS!!! |
|
THE FLAG
TAKEN DOWN
IS NOT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG
IT IS THE
CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG
HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE |
|
1st Confederate Flag |
Confederate Battle Flag (It is
square.) |
|
One on the left was the National flag and the one on the right was
used on the battle field. |
|
The one on
the LEFT is called "THE CONFEDERATE FLAG". |
|
A SHORT HISTORY
BEHIND THE FLAGS
IN THE OPEN AIR FLAG MUSEUM in
VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK |
|
No one on the city commission, including
Commissioner Stevens, or the public made an
objection to all these flags, including the "CONFEDERATE
BATTLE FLAG", to be on
display in the Open Air Flag Museum. |
|
The Southern troops used the
CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG in combat.
NOT "THE CONFEDERATE FLAG"
(as shown above) |
|
What a more fitting place to display
the CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG then in
VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK |
|
Public Law [H. R. 358] 72 Stat. 133
"(e) For the purpose of this section, and section 433,
the term 'veteran'
includes a person
who
served in the military or
naval forces of the
Confederate States of America during the
Civil War,
and the term `active, military or naval service'
includes active service in such forces." |
|
These Confederate soldiers and sailors,
both black and white, who fought together and died
under the Confederate
BATTLE FLAG should be remembered
and honored by this BATTLE
FLAG in VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK.
Right or Wrong -
They were American Veterans. |
|
AS WE ALL KNOW!
The Confederate Battle Flag has been misused and
hijacked by some misguided people and organizations.
There is no known way to control that!!! |
|
Just because a picture of someone
accused of a crime and holding the Battle Flag or
displaying
it
in a
hostile
way doesn't validate the removal of all Confederate Battle
Flags from
the face of the
earth.
The Battle Flag is part of our history and should be
respected as such. It
is part of our
heritage.
We should learn from the past and start moving on.
Education is the key to unlocking our future and
healing. |
|
MY RECOMMENDATION:
Be an example to others and demonstrate the
willingness to do the right thing and not be
moved by emotions, but rather by the facts, the
truth and morality.
Restore the Confederate Battle Flag (not the
Confederate flag) to it’s rightful place in the
Open Air Flag Museum so our visitors, children
and others can be taught that the price of
freedom was high during the War Between The
States.
Over 214,938 American Confederate veterans, of all races,
lost their lives. And for every
Confederate veteran... they
left behind a grieving family.
During the POW-MIA Ceremony, the American Union
and Confederate Veterans will be honored and
remembered as well as all other American
Veterans still missing in action. |
|
Education is the only answer to solve this problem.
Education with the intent and purpose to tell the
truth from facts, in an unprejudiced format.
Changing of the heart needs to start in the family
environment. Parents need to take
responsibility and teach by example and by doing
this simple thing, we can change the course of
history in Wichita, in Kansas and in the United
States of America. The land of the free and the
home of the brave.
WE CAN DO THIS IF WE WANT TO…
The choice is yours! |
