You will have to tell me some stories over coffee sometime.
Hey OGT, Some history of the flag I posted, sorry Im' not trying to correct ya but bear with me ,your looking at,
ReplyDelete"The Confederate Navy Jack" flag
Used as a navy jack at sea from 1863 onward. This flag has become the generally recognized symbol of the South.Designed by the confederacy as a banner representing state's rights and still revered by the South. In fact, under attack, it still flies over the South Carolina capitol building today.
Old Glory was the name adopted by The United States for our flag.please don't be offended there Marc, it's a southern thing.
Hey there gumo good to here from ya , hope this finds you well.
cheers!

LOL,, yeah yer right. I've mistakingly on purpose been calling it old glory for a long time now. Its a southern thing. he he
ReplyDeletePs I also call it the southern cross sometimes, lol
ReplyDeleteWhat ever you want to call the flag, I still fly mine in South Georgia, and dam proud of it.
ReplyDeleteGood to read your post again, was wondering if you forgot us.
Hey There Caboose,
ReplyDeleteI knew for some reason it would mean something to ya , coming from Georgia and all (lol).
There were several Confederate flags and all are similar in style , The Confederate Battle Flag is my favorite, but all have the 13 stars with the southern cross on red background , just a little more defined white line behind the blue star field. also the other flags were square ,while the jack is elongated.
Glad to know you understand how this works ,Good job with the jack at your house.That means something to me anyway !
Hey OGT
I'm back from East TX and going to put my new floor plan up here in a few days ,with the up grade for the split level we ended up using ,I think your going to like it.
cheers!

Didn't realize there were saw mills in Cherokee County. I'll have to get around more often when up there.
ReplyDeleteMost often check out cemeteries up there and Angelina Co.
Next trip up picking up glock 19 for my wife and I am fair shooter but she is just a 5'1" downright GOOD shooter! I am well protected with her armed beside me.
When someone drives in driveway at homestead, that is one of the 2 flags they see [the other is the Texas flag]. Drives some Yankees crazy!
