Save Crestview Florida Confederate flag because many don't see it as racism. I'm proud to be from the south I'm proud of the family members that died and should be remembered and respected. It may be a different way a living here in the south, but it's a different way of living to have southern pride. It's our right as Americans to fly that flag....it's freedom. And it's not right to take this away when our country allows so many other flags to fly with pride.

I am signing this petition because I am a Southerner and have 2 ancestors who answered this States call to duty to serve the Confederacy. Furthermore, I hope the good people of Walton County would read the book "77 years in Dixie, The Boys in Gray from 61' to 65' ", written in 1910 or 11 by HW Reddick before making any rash decisions to move the flag. Mr. Reddick was in a Company called "Walton Guards" which was formed at the outbreak of the war. He is buried in Hatcher Cemetery in Portland, Fl. Stan Carroll Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1516 Kissimmee, Fl
P.L. 85-425 recognized the widows of Confederate veterans with an increase in pensions frm the US govt in 1958. Is this not also a recognition of the heritage of the CSA to include its battle flag of the Army of Northern Virgina? If the symbol is racist, is P.L. 85-425 racist; consequently, the US govt?
This flag is in memory of my husband's Great grandfather William Allen Lundy and dedicated to ALL Confederate soldiers from Florida . The flag and monument have been in the same spot for around 50 years or so . Admit it , most of us drive by it several times a day and never notice it . Some didn't even know it was there at all when ask about it . I personally have not ever heard of a criminal instance due to that flag flying .
This flag is not on a State or Federal building and wasn't payed for by tax dollars it is on a memorial for the last known Confederate soldier
Taking down a flag is not going to stop all of this! It's not a flag it is people that are to blame! You want to take down the flag, but if you look at all the pictures that kid was posted with he was burning an American flag too! So should we take that down too? He just hated people in general!
I support this petition
He is my great grand father

The Confederate flag is not a symbol of slavery, racism or inequality. It is a battle flag flown during a war fought for freedom. Keep our heritage and educate those who are confused on what it actually means. It is possible to be from the south and not feel racism, there is nothing wrong with being from the south and being proud of that.
