Dear editor,
We have met with the Board of Commissioners concerning the Confederate flag displayed on the courthouse grounds. This flag should not be flown 364 days on public property but does have the right to be flown one day in the month of April on the Confederate holiday. It should be taken down after the holiday! Anyone has the right to fly or display the flag on his/her private property to remember his/her history.
On Monday, May 25, 2015, there was a memorial service held on the courthouse grounds. The elected Board of Commissioners did not have enough respect, compassion or love for fallen service men and women who fought and died for the American flag – the red, white and blue stripes – to take down the Confederate flag during the ceremony. It was still flying in the background. It’s a shame, shame, shame that it was not taken down!
Is this one of the reasons why big businesses will not relocate in Dodge County? Is it because we cannot come together as a united Dodge County to move this county forward? Maybe we all would benefit if we had classes taught on black and white relationships (working and progressing successfully).
Letter to the Editor
It’s time for the citizens of Dodge County and especially the men and women of the Gospel to come together and stand up for righteousness and justice for all people. It’s about Dodge County having a better future for our children, our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren.
Commissioners, it’s time to take this flag down! It’s time to live in the present! If you want to display the Confederate flag, then create a memorial museum at the historical site off Soperton Highway.
The Board of Commissioners begins its meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag, a prayer and invocation before the start of each meeting and they say that they are serving all the citizens of Dodge County. Where are the compassion, the respect and the love of God for all the citizens of Dodge County? How is this possible, knowing the Confederate flag – a symbol of division – flies daily over the courthouse? They do not care about the progress of this county.
Once again, look around the city of Eastman. Businesses are closing while the Eastman council is working hard to bring business back to the downtown area in Eastman.
