You'd be hard pressed to travel more than a mile through Craig County without seeing the infamous "Southern Cross," -- perhaps in response to the judge's order. But the flag in question was the Second Flag of the Confederacy....
According to published reports, Judge Byrd said flying ANY confederate flag would be "inappropriate use of courthouse property."
What puzzles residents like Rice is why a Confederate War Memorial standing on courthouse property is considered appropriate, but a Confederate flag is considered "INappropriate."
