Well, if it really burns them at one size, get a bigger one and really roast them.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans camp in Tampa is replacing the old 30 by 50 foot Confederate battle flag with an even bigger one, this one measuring 30 by 60.
Plans are to cut the old flag into pieces to sell to raise money for the memorial park surrounding the pole. Construction of the 1.9 acre park is expected to be finished in six weeks.
As usual, there were lots of comments in the Tampa Bay Online site. Almost more interesting than the story.
But as the author of the Civil War Memory blog points out, if these guys are just showing respect to the flag, why are they cutting it up?
