Hey guys. I just wanted a preview on my new sig. I don't mean it in a racial way, it is just a part of southern culture and heritage. But I completely understand if someone doesn't like it. Just let me know and I'll be sure to make a new one. Thanks!

If you can't make out the text, it says 'The flag fades, but the pride stays.'


PLEASE NOTE: this is not meant in any sort of racist way or anything. It is a part of my southern culture not any radical beliefs.

If you find it inappropriate or offensive, please let me know!

Thanks for your understanding.

But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother'

And Pez, the American flag is more than good enough for me. And just to let you know, it flies proudly over my front step.

It was directed at you completely, just the whole glob of the guys who have their cars covered in the confederate flag. Seriously though, I think it's gained it's infamous stature because of it's taboo nature. If you're really into the Civil War and into your family history, why not look up your state flag from the war or what flag your family carried. The stars and bars was not the official flag of the confederacy and if I remember correctly, used most often by Texan troops. Again, I think it has been marketed as THE flag of the confederacy and the south by people making a buck and the fact that it's taboo and shocking to a lot of people makes it cool. Also, an Iron Cross and a swastika are two different things. It's like comparing a purple heart to a regiment flag.
