Evidently that huge 30 x 50 foot Confederate battleflag that has been causing so much controversy by the interstates in Tampa is not flown 24 hours a day, or even every day; just occasionally.
One source said it has been raised twice and another said three times.
Most recently, it went up for flag day. The Sons of Confederate Veterans camp flies it on certain occasions and it is never left unattended (and for good reason). I was wondering if it was to fly 24-7. Security issues aside, that has to have been one mighty expensive piece of fabric so I'm not surprised they don't leave it up all the time.
I saw a picture of people raising it on the 139 foot pole and that is one B-I-G flag and it has definitely stirred up a lot of favorable and unfavorable controversy.
