In Atkinson County Georgia a confederate flag flies on courthouse grounds in the City of Pearson on public property as of July 22, 2008. The flagpole on which this (confederate) flag is flown is much taller than the one next to it flying the United States State Flag.
Moreover, it is unbelievable that Georgia State Elected officials would allow this disrespect for our active duty, veterans, retired, and disabled American veterans in 2008. We can only imagine why Georgia State Elected Officials would allow this flag to fly on public property on Atkinson County Court House grounds (Pearson) at tax payer’s expense.
Personally, I do not have a problem with this Ancient African Symbol that was first engraved on stone in Africa before the founding fathers ever set foot in North America. This symbol (confederate flag) that has generated much controversy is the same as those on our dollar bill that was first engraved on stone in Ancient Africa. Although, this history have been buried, beneath the rubbish pile of lies, half truths, and ignorance to promote one created being above another.
However, if America is truly a nation of laws, then no flag should be flown on a flagpole higher than the UNITED STATES FLAG. So why disrespect the flag which many living and deceased military veterans gave every measure of devotion, and service?
As a retired member of the United States Armed Forces our state officials should respect the established traditions of Old Glory for which many veterans took pride in defending. God Bless America, the State of Georgia, and everybody else.
