Tampa Florida Confederate Flag Dedication.

The Largest Confederate Flag in the World.

Alabama councilman removes Confederate flags from graves.

From nbc13.com

Mary Norman was shocked Thursday afternoon when Auburn Councilman Arthur L. Dowdell pulled up a Confederate flag placed on her great-grandfather’s grave and snapped it in half, she said.

Dowdell, who denies snapping the flag, said Thursday he was picking up his daughter from Auburn Junior High School near the cemetery when several people told him they “had a problem” with the flags.

He drove to the cemetery and started pulling up flags, he said. “It’s offensive to me,” he said. “To me, it represents the Ku Klux Klan and racism.”

“One of the flags had been placed on my great-grandfather’s grave, who was a Confederate soldier,” Norman said. “He just got very upset, and he went over to my great-grandfather’s grave, picked up the flag and broke it in two.”

He pulled up Confederate flags from other soldiers’ graves, too, she said. Dowdell said in his years as councilman, he had never seen so many Confederate flags in one place. “I’m going on the record that this will never happen again,” Dowdell said. “This will never happen again as long as I’m on the city council.”

Response from a Patriotic Citizen.

Sir:

I understand that you recently took it upon yourself to dishonor Confederate Veterans of the Civil War by removing Confederate Battle Flags from the private property of their decendants because you found them “offensive”.

SHAME ON YOU, COUNCILMAN, for your self righteous, pompous bigotry. What makes you think your “feelings” justify trampling on other folks feelings and rights and property?

I am a Vietnam Combat Veteran with a Bronze Star from the 101st Airborne. In my family tree you’ll find men listed as heroes by the Daughters of the American Revolution who served with Gen. George Washington, men who served as indentured servants to others for extended terms because they disagreed with polite society, and veterans of virtually every conflict in this country’s history to include both Confederate and Union Soldiers in the Civil War.

We don’t mind defending your freedoms, but we will not tolerate your whiny, feeble, weak attempts to limit ours!

You, Sir, are a disgrace and a fraud, historically ignorant, and suffer from the mistaken assumption that anybody really cares that you’re offended.

If you’re offended, stay the hell out of our cemeteries and off our property.

Happy Birthday Robert E. Lee.

Johns Hopkins University Surrenders to Political Correctness

Changing course after 20 years, university tells European Americans it won’t rent them space to celebrate their Heritage. Is this the change we can expect to happen more often because of a Barack Hussein Obama presidency? This is another wake-up call for European Americans to stand-up and fight for their freedom and heritage just like every other ethnic group does. Join with the SCV and lets stand together united, in defending our God-Given rights.

———————————————————————–

A march each January near the Johns Hopkins University campus honors Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Every January, descendants of Confederate soldiers gather in Wyman Park to march under the banner of the Confederacy, sing “Dixie” and lay wreaths at the monument to Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, legendary generals of the Confederate States of America.

And afterward, for 20 years now, everyone has gone across the street to the Johns Hopkins University for coffee and refreshments, with some of the 200 descendants and observers still wearing the uniforms of Confederate re-enactors and carrying the flag. But next year will be different.

Hopkins has informed the Maryland divisions of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans that it will not rent space to them. The Jan. 17 event is scheduled for only a few days before the inauguration of the nation’s first African-American president. The university received complaints after the march last January and says that it no longer wants to see the Confederate flag flying on campus.

“We’re not legally required to rent rooms to anybody who asks, and in this case we have chosen not to rent a room,” said Hopkins spokesman Dennis O’Shea. “We choose not to have the Confederate battle flag carried across our campus, particularly at that time of year, so very close to the Martin Luther King holiday.”

Members of the Confederate groups say they are victims of political correctness run amok. The ceremony will go on. The groups get city permits to gather in the public park next to the Baltimore Museum of Art, where the monument of Jackson and Lee astride horses was dedicated in 1948.

Don Cash, an NAACP national board member from Columbia, applauded Hopkins’ decision and said, “What that flag means to me is slavery.”

“You have a situation where we’ve let other people define us, and in the past haven’t spoken out as strongly as we should about other groups who have usurped the use of our flag,” said Michael K. Williams, commander of the Gilmor Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He acknowledged that Hopkins is a private institution, but he said that because it receives federal money it must adhere to federal nondiscriminatory policies when it comes to renting space on campus. Williams said his group is a federally registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Missouri SCV camp participates in Veterans Day Parade

Major James Morgan Utz Camp #1815, participated in the Florissant Missouri Veterans Day Parade Nov 9, 2008.

 

 

BATTLE OF WENTZVILLE, MISSOURI

Re-enactment in Rotary Park in Wentzville on 6-7 September 2008.

Attending the event with a recruiting booth was the Missouri Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Major James Morgan Utz Camp out of Florissant Missouri.

Wentzville began as a depot on the Northern Missouri Railroad in 1855. The town is named after Erasmus Livingston Wentz, a railroad engineer of the time. In mid-July, 1861, Wentzville saw some minor skirmishes in the American Civil War as the occupying Union troops sustained the railroad from Confederate attack. Wentzville was incorporated as a city in 1871.

On July 15, 1861 four companies of the 2nd Missouri Infantry and two companies of the 8th Missouri Infantry left St. Louis by train, heading west on the North Missouri Railroad Line to Mexico Missouri. Their mission was to join forces with Col. Franz Sigel. When the train was about six miles west of St. Charles, the Union troops found that they were entering an area that had not yet been taken over by Union forces therefore occasional gunfire occurred as a warning for the occupiers to get out of town.

Upon arriving in Wentzville in the evening, the soldiers ate supper, then proceeded down the railroad line into the dark and rainy night. About three miles west of town the train was attacked. Union Soldiers stepped off of the train to see what was going on but the Confederates could not be found.

After re-boarding the train, they returned to Wentzville where the wounded were treated at the Wentzville Hotel (present site of the West Allen Grill). The main room of the hotel was made into a temorary hospital.

The next morning, the Union soldiers continued their journey. Again they were attacked. After repulsing there attacks by Missouri Bushwackers, the train was able to proceed to link up with Sigel in Mexico Missouri. The actual number wounded or killed in this engagement is unknown. Some accounts place wounded at 30 and killed at 7. Cannon balls found near the railroad tracks in the area are on display at the Wentzville Historical Society’s Museum room at the Green Lantern Center.

A historic marker commemorating this event is located just west of linn Avenue on Peaarce Boulevard in Bicentenial Park.

Happy Birthday General Lee

Last year was General Robert E. Lee’s 200th Birthday. It was an extra special year with all kinds of extra events going on to celebrate General Lee’s 200th birthday; but just because its 2008 this year we must never forget to honor our hero’s every year and remember to keep their message alive because we are fighting for the same principles that the centralized power grabbers, one worlders, communist, leftist, anti-christian, anti-white haters have been trying to totally destroy.
