On Thursday, May 19, the US House of Representatives passed House Resolution 4974 which bans large Confederate flags from VA Cemeteries. It further restricts Confederate Flag display in these cemeteries to “small flags” on only two days each year: Memorial Day and Confederate Memorial Day.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Call, e-mail, and write BOTH of North Carolina’s Senators TODAY and tell them to vote against any Senate measure related to HR 4974 and that Confederate Veterans are AMERICAN VETERANS by law and should be left to rest in peace and to be honored by their ancestors in a manner befitting their service.
