 Post subject: SC and Memorial Day
PostPosted: Sun Aug 19, 2012 7:02 am 
I ran across an article about this topic today. This is an excerpt from the May 10, 2012, article:

Even as Confederate Memorial Day was observed, there was a call to end the holiday.

State Rep. Boyd Brown of Winnsboro said lawmakers should end the holiday. Brown has ancestors who fought for the South but said lawmakers needed to be in Columbia Thursday.

"We have important issues that need our attention, but instead, the Legislature is taking a day off to observe an archaic state holiday," he said. "I'm not suggesting that South Carolinians stop celebrating the holiday, but I am asking that from this point forward, they observe it in their hearts and minds."


I had a boss who used to say the same thing about the Christmas holiday :shock:

The Yahoo probably went to school out of State and is a scalawag based off of his attitude..plus he probably trying to garner votes based off of his location in the State

From the Piedmont and up to the mountains....you see Confederate Battle Flags flying...now some are flying for the wrong reason..I will grant you that and they have no clue of any of the historical facts..just use it as a hate symbol....
most county courthouses have extremely impressive Confederate memorials on the grounds......here in Greenwood County is very nice

and by the way I still have all of my confederate money...South will rise again.... :D
