The Va Flaggers are THRILLED to announce that we have finalized a lease to acquire property adjacent to Interstate 95, just South of Richmond, and will be erecting a 50' pole, on which a 10 x15 Confederate Battle Flag will fly 24/7, 365 days of the year.
The flag will serve to welcome visitors and commuters to Richmond, and remind them of our honorable Confederate history and heritage. The location is also historically significant, as Confederate troops are believed to have camped in and around the area during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign.
Site work will begin next week, with a September 28th Flag Raising/Dedication slated.
We have received an excellent deal on a pole, with an internal halyard. Much of the site work will be by volunteers and donations, and we expect to be able to complete this project at a cost of just under $3,000.
If you are interesting in contributing to the project, please make a check payable to "Virginia Flaggers" (Note: I-95 Flag Project in memo) and mail to:

Donations are NOT tax deductible as we have vowed to NEVER have the burden of 501c3 status to prevent us from fighting the good fight to defend our Confederate ancestors.
