Confederate flags expected to fly in Texas Fourth of July parades

AUSTIN — The Texas division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans said their groups will march in Independence Day parades across the state, carrying the Confederate battle flag.

“They most definitely will be seeing the Confederate flag in parades this weekend,” said Marshall Davis, president of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Texas Division. “We don’t plan to make any changes. We still want to honor our heroes and our heritage in the same way as we have for years.”

Davis said the Confederate flag symbolizes heritage and honor and it is a large part of their organization’s flag display.

“Our contemporary, regimental and divisional flags that we have feature different sections of the Confederate flag,” Davis said. “We have every intention of it still being flown at the Fourth of July and in the future.”

In June, the Confederate flag was the center of a nationwide debate, after a Charleston man shot and killed nine people in a historic African-American church.

2. Well, if they are going to allow the flag of the traitors to the U.S. to be flown

perhaps someone should paint that word across it and fly it in the parade with the rest?

Probably should come armed, but maybe it needs to be seen with the word "TRAITOR" spray painted on it for a while, they might get the message.
