re: How are you remembering Union Soldiers that died in the Civil War

My little twin has a Memorial Day flag display where the Us flag, the state flag, flags honoring the 5 branches of the service, a Mexican flag.....and a confederate flag! There was almost nothing in New Mexico during the civil war that was related to the war although many Southerners wound up here afterwards.

I asked some folks about the Confederate flag and I was told that it was there because the dead were Americans. I asked why there wasn't also an IS flag there because Americans had died at the hands of Americans while they were fighting fo the IS....suddenly the conversation turned to one of e weather.....
