THE 24th ANNUAL CONFEDERATE FLAG DAY - NORTH CAROLINA STATE CAPITOL
As it has done for the past twenty-four years, the North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is sponsoring Confederate Flag
Day at the historic North Carolina State Capitol. This will be the 24th annual flag day sponsored by the division, and this year it will be held, with
official state approval, on Saturday, March 10 (beginning at 2 p.m., in the old House of Representatives chamber).
This year's program is very special, in that it continues the division's efforts to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the War for Southern
Independence. The special guest speaker will be Mr. Bernhard Thuersam, Executive Director of The Cape Fear Historical Institute, Wilmington,
North Carolina, and the founder and Chairman of the North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission
(www.ncwtbs150.com), as well as former Chairman of the Cape Fear Museum Board of Trustees. He is the CEO of a residential community
design and planning practice, and has been involved with the Sons of Confederate Veterans since 1992. Bernie Thuersam is a dynamic
speaker and has spoken at numerous SCV events.
As usual, our Confederate Flag Day will feature musical selections by Ellis Selph and his band, the display of the flags of our heritage,
invocation and benediction by the Reverend Herman White, and, not the least, our First National Flag flying atop the State Capitol (one of three
days a year that this happens).
And remember, Watkins Grill, near to downtown, will be offering its famous home cooked "Confederate Specials" for lunch prior to the event.
For additional information on Watkins, you can telephone: 834-0467 (Raleigh).
Make plans NOW to attend this important event--we need to honor our heritage and, especially so during this sesquicentennial. It is time to
show the colors and make an effort. See in Raleigh at the State Capitol Saturday afternoon, March 10.
