Va Flaggers: VMFA Update 10-3-2013
Check out this GREAT article by Jim Dean in
Veterans Today!
"Virginian Veterans Raise I-95 Battle Flag. America's most discriminated

Following the Raising/Dedication of the RVA I-95 Battle Flag, the Va Flaggers headed out to the Boulevard on Richmond, and many of our out of town guests took advantage of the opportunity to flag the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for the first time! 35 FLAGGERS covered the sidewalk, and the display of flags was one of the largest in recent months!
Flaggers from Missouri, Florida, and Texas joined the Va Flaggers in forwarding the colors, protesting the forced removal of Confederate Flags from the portico of the Confederate Memorial Chapel, and changing hearts and minds.
It was an honor to have our friend Bob Harris join us again from Harrisonburg! What a perfect way to top off a VERY Confederate day in the Capital of the Confederacy!
The media spotlight from the I-95 Battle Flag has also brought new attention to the desecration of the Confederate Memorial Chapel by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. October 1st marked the 2nd Anniversary of the very first flagging at the VMFA... and what a difference two years makes...
2011...
2013...
The Virginia Flaggers are committed to staying the course and are asking for your help!
Our next flagging is TODAY, Thursday, October 3rd, 3:00 p.m. - dusk. JOIN US if you are able, and be a part of those taking a stand FOR the honor and memory or our Confederate ancestors and AGAINST those who would dishonor them. Can't make it out to the Boulevard? You can give support to the troops on the ground by calling the VMFA at (804) 340-1506 and asking them to return the Confederate Battle Flags to the portico of the Confederate Memorial Chapel.
RETURN the flags!
RESTORE the honor!
