Some New News About an Old War.
1. NO CONFEDERATE FLAGS ALLOWED-- First, the Veterans Day Parade was cancelled, then back on, then the flag was allowed, now it's not in Homestead, Florida. They should make up their minds and do what is right. Allow the flag. Veterans receive pensions and Confederate soldiers received pensions.
2. NO JAIL TIME-- Gun charges against a Confederate re-enactor have been dismissed after Joshua Silva paid $1,200 restitution and took fire arms safety classes. He shot a retired New York City policeman who was a Union re-enactor. Silva claims he didn't know his gun was loaded with live ammunition. Sounds like a real likely story.
3. NO CONFEDERATE FLAGS ALLOWED-- In South Carolina an appeals judge ruled that na school district had the right to prohibit the wearing of Confederate flags on clothing. A high school student had a case saying it violated her right to free speech. Last month, a judge in Tennessee ruled in a similar suit. This is the reason we have to protect our heritage.
4. UNION SOLDIER RETURNS HOME-- The remains of a New York soldier have been returned to his home state and lie in state at the New York Military Museum in Saratoga burial. They were found several months ago at the Antietam Battlefield.
