The Prince William County(VA) Board of Supervisors refuse to honor local Confederate and Southern Heritage. Prince William County was the site of two major battles in the War for Southern Independence. The first-The 1st Battle of Manassas-is where Thomas Jackson earned his nick name of \"Stonewall.\" The County raised a number of units for the Confederate Army. The Board of Supervisors issues proclamations for other ethnic and racial groups, but refuses to do so for Confederate Heritage. The County claims that it treasures its past. The County even uses Confederate images such as soldiers in publications targeting tourists. So, while it seems that the County is willing to earn tax dollars from its Confederate History, the County is not willing to honor such history with a Proclamation. The Proclamation will be online until March 2004 and, will be sent to all 8 members of the Board.

The increase in momentum confirms that the Board of Supervisors must address our formal request for a proclamation. I am drafting a cover letter to accompany the delivery of these names to the eight board members.

Ridiculous that they take tourist money but wont respect the history of the men who fought here. Do the right thing.

Keep our heritage alive. Manassas is hallowed ground and we shouldnt be ashamed of that.

If they are using our soldiers to sell tickets they should honor them too. Seems pretty hypocritical to me.
