“They fell, but o’er their glorious grave; floats free the banner of the cause they died to save.” — Francis Marion Crawford
(Which is one of the reasons why we can’t completely ban the Stars and Bars of the Confederate flag. While it might represent hatred and oppression to some, to others it represented a way of life that they felt was worth fighting, and dying, for. Modern/current values aside, it’s not fair to, nor should we try to, erase all vestiges of past history. Both sides lost greatly, and both sides deserve to honor their dead. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
