EDITOR: <\/p>\n
I enjoyed your article about this museum (Battle brews over Confederate flags at Nash Farm museum in Hampton), but I am disturbed that in 2017 the concern about Confederate flags would close a museum. <\/p>\n
The flags in and around this museum and others like it do not worry me; its history. The saying, lest we forget, has special meaning to me, maybe a bit more than to others as Im Jewish and we take that comment very seriously. <\/p>\n
There is a strong history in our time, remembering the slave camps of the Egyptian Pharaohs and the death camps of the Nazis where I lost many family members; fortunately not all. <\/p>\n
Im also offended as a 90 percent disabled veteran who served 25 years on active duty to assure Americas freedoms, such as freedom of speech. <\/p>\n
