Dear Ms. Lunelle,
Here I was in the same role as United States Armed Forces acted out in one of the largest Ticker Tape Parades in New York City history.
They were Honor Guard for General Douglas MacArthur. One carrying the General's Command flag, one carrying the Stars and Stripes, and, lo and behold, the other carrying the Confederate Battle flag just as I had done in the Annual Zephyrhills, Florida Christmas Parade.
And it is important to note that out of the hundreds of thousands of spectators gathered in New York or the thousands in Zephryerhills or the members of the Press in New York or Zephyrhills would define the soldier don in the Federal uniform carrying the Confederate Battle flag as a dangerous person representing dangerous organizations, or myself in Zephyrhills.
Yet, here I was in the 21st century as I had done several times before in this same Christmas Parade don in the uniform of the Southern Soldier with the Southern Cross in hand serving as part of the Honor Guard for the 501(c)3 Heritage Organizations of the Augustus Jane Evans Wilson Chapter 2640 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Judah P Benjamin Camp 2110 Sons of Confederate Veterans as someone (many someones) filmed my presence and placed it on Facebook, only to be told that I was a dangerous person representing dangerous organizations, and that the video of me was banned from Facebook because it did not meet their community standards.
