Earlier this month, I met with the Campbell Guards, Camp #2117, SCV in Lynch Station, Virginia. I had a great time meeting some of the fine folks who came out, and speaking with them about the Va Flaggers, and heritage defense in Virginia.
I was thrilled to see many of these folks in Lexington, joining the Flaggers in honoring Lee & Jackson, and standing with us to protest the City Council's discriminatory flag ban.
Many thanks to the men of the Campbell Guards and their guests for the warm welcome, hospitality, and generous support of the Va Flaggers!
*********************************************************************************************Speaking of Lexington...
First time Flagger Keith H. takes a moment to share his impressions after spending two days with the Virginia Flaggers in Lexington...
"Thanks Susan, I have already described the events at VMI as once in a lifetime spiritual experience. I want to describe a couple more observations, being a first time Flagger.
First is how polite and inviting all the Flaggers were. Everyone made sure I was introduced to any one I didn't know. Believe me, that's rare these days. I felt at home.
2nd is I felt something different with this group. Having been associated with similar groups in the past I see this one is out to make a difference and doing it in the right way. It's different when a family sees 75 citizens that look as normal as them, only they carry the flag, than it is when they see re-enactors. Dont get me wrong. They do great work and are keepers of the flame, but when they see citizens protesting a wrong it makes a different kind of impression. AS in hey, this is going on now, and these people are taking a stand now, not 150 years ago.
Last thing I will never forget are the citizens along the parade route...they were with us! I can't count how many thank you's and atta boys I heard, many from women and children! Oh and last was singing Dixie with the Keydets and the rebel yell I know sounded exactly like it would have in 1861. Chills up my arms down my spine. Was truly a spiritual moment."

Keith was one of many first-time Flaggers who joined us in Lexington. The turnout was almost twice that of last year and was successful beyond our expectations!
Thank you, Keith for sharing this with us, and many thanks to all who joined us over the two days to forward the colors in the City of Lee & Jackson.
More reports coming soon...
