It's Big, It's Proud, and It's Rebel

Motorists will soon be seeing a mega-Confederate Battle Flag in western Tennessee near Trimble.

Hamilton Parks, a life member of the SCV , donated a 50 by 50 foot plot for the flag memorial. An 80 foot flagpole will fly a 20 X 30 foot Confederate flag. A memorial will also be built around it and it will be lighted at night.

This is part of a project to put mre flags at prominent locations across the South. This one, sitting on a promontory, will be easily visible from the future I-69.
