Big Confederate Flag and Memorial Plaza

The cemetery behind this memorial is Pierce Family Cemetery -- my grandfather.s family. The small walk though at the top is the site of the home of John Pierce. He was the first farmer/settler there. I believe he came from Louisiana, originally from France. He was a fur trapper/farmer.

Big Confederate Flag and Memorial Plaza

Is it something that should be memorialized, I'm not so sure. But still interesting. The flag is quite large, and you are being watched by satellite.
