In reply to the discussion: The idea that there are still parks and places named after Civil War Generals from the South [View all]ChoppinBroccoli
(3,784 posts)My wife works for the Ohio Attorney General, and often has to deal with entities in other States. Once this summer, she had to get something filed in South Carolina. The protocol is that she contacts attorneys who are actually in South Carolina and contracts with them to actually do the filing. But this one particular day, she couldn't find any attorneys in their offices around the State of South Carolina. Why? Because they were all off work observing Confederate Memorial Day.
When she told me this, I was like, "They take a day off work for Confederate Memorial Day? STILL???" And then I got to wondering exactly how one "celebrates" Confederate Memorial Day. The mind boggles. But, as I told my wife that day when she called to tell me about it, what else should you expect from the State that still continues to fly the Confederate flag over its State Capital Building?
