Another Big Confederate Flag in Dyersville, Tennessee

The October 22nd Dyersville (TN) State Gazette reports that the Dyer County Board of Zoning Appeals will be meeting October 28th in to consider a permit for a Confederate monument at Cemetery Ridge Memorial Park.

The local Sons of Confederate Veterans camp has already erected an 80-foot-flagpole on the site from which a 20 X 30 foot flag flies. They now would like to continue with a circular memorial plaza consisting of the flag, a granite marker, seating area, and appropriate landscaping and lighting.

So far, there has been one comment from ExPatDyerburgian, "Yes, please let us preserve our slave-loving heritage, even in death.


SPEAKING OF CONFEDERATE FLAGS-- Tampa Bay Online, TBO.com has lots of comments about the huge Confederate flag in Tampa by the interstates under "Confederate Flag Causes a Flap." Pretty good name.
