I can't believe that title made it till I fixed it at 11:10 CST.

A question, what insitution currently holds the colors of the 4th Va? What a beautiful piece of history.

Nate, can you please tell me what was wrong with the thread title?

 

[Nathanb1]

Flags was misspelled. No "l".

God Nate, l am so sorry, l had no idea, when one of the members said fix the title
l just thought that it was from someone who favoured the Union over the Rebs, l
had no idea that l left the l out. l hope you and the other members will not hold it
against me as it was a stupid but honest mistake on my behalf, if l have offended
anybody l am very very sorry.

Jess.

Heck, no. I nearly laughed my head off when I saw it. Apparently NONE of the other mods can spell, either, so no biggie!

There is also one on the wall at the Jackson HQ museum in Winchester, VA.

I did not manage to surreptitiously touch it.

That's what I meant when I said, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

l didn't pick up on it Terry, l felt like such a fool mate when l realised what l had done .

Too bad the Battle Flags couldn't talk..The stories they could tell...

A common mistake..people say...Stars and Bars..When it is the Battle Flag..

Yeah, it's funny how the mind can sometimes edit a mistake without the reader being aware of it.

Jess don't feel bad, we all make spelling mistakes. I always proof read my posts, but things still get through with mistakes. We are all just humans.

You have so many great posts. Glad you are on the forum.

I've had to ask Mods to fix a title every now and then, so it's no big woop.

As an old proofreader who has authored many mistakes, try this: Before hitting enter, read the sentence or title backwards. That way your brain sees what is written rather than sees what it wants to.

Why doesn't the flag of the 6th Alabama have any "Battle Honors" on it?

I believe that was left up to the individual soldiers in the unit to do that if they wished
