<PRE>Excuse me but I am a Yankee. I was born and raised in Massachusetts. You remind me of the government that did nothing for our Navajo talkers who saved our butts during WWII and received nothing for their actions. No pensions, no benefits, nothing but a thank you. Those same Indians who tried to hold onto their land and were given nothing but sand reservations in Arizona. Have you ever been to a Navajo reservation or to any reservation. Think again!!! How dare you say that the Confederates and Union soldiers died for nothing. This is a simple little flag that denotes part of our American History. Nothing more, nothing less. It is people like you and the all mighty government who try to make a mountain out of a mole hill. My husband's great-grandather and great-uncles died and were invalided during that war. They fought for the Union but we still respect people that fought and died for what they believed in at that the time was a just cause. We all know that slavery was not a just cause. May be we should fly the African nation flags and then you will be satisfied and say, "Ah, justice has been done." Get a clue. This is 2003. The Civil War has been over for almost 200 years. The cause no longer exists and many soldiers on both sides died. Give it a rest.
