U.S. FLAG UNFITTING OVER REBEL'S GRAVE

THE APRIL 1 write-up of Appomattox included a picture of two Confederate graves, one of which had an American flag over it. The man in that grave fought and died for the Confederate States of America against the Union and the Union flag. Flying the American flag over that Confederate's grave is the same as flying a Nazi or Japanese flag over Arlington National Cemetery.
