Our Monument Guards have been on alert all week across the Commonwealth, with a heavy presence today in response to the threat of violence by leftist anarchist groups. We are committed to protecting and preserving Confederate memorials, our Memorial Battle Flag sites, and the memory of our Confederate dead, at all costs. Those who have decided to wage war on our history, heritage, memorials, flags, and the honor of the Confederate Soldier’s good name, will be met in a spirit as determined as that of our grandfathers who wore the grey.
