So in your eyes, honoring a relative who died fighting for the South - Strongbad Apr 1, 10:21 4
- Correct, if you are honoring them *for* having fought for the South. - TWuG Apr 1, 10:28 3
  - how many of them actually had a choice whether to fight or not? and for which side? I thought the army came to town and took everyone with them. -- nm - zork Apr 1, 10:33 2
    - I'm sure there were conscripts who fought against their will. But would you be honoring those folks by using the stars and bars? - TWuG Apr 1, 10:38 1
      - right...seems like another reason not to fly that particular flag. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 1, 10:43
