#battle flag

"Shut up," said the Dean. He blew his nose.

It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could but you were still alive.

You lead me to the bedroom of your wood-paneled trailer, and slam me back first on the bed of your ancestors. You pull down your mesh basketball shorts and white wifebeater tank top. You unbuckle my Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans and unbutton my striped rodeo shirt. You let out a huge bubbly fart and fill the room with smell of your musty, sweaty armpits.

You grab your cock and slide it in, and thrust it back and forth like a piston on a Chevy engine, conquering me to the point of climax in which you spill your white, alpha man juices into the caves my short-statured brown body.

For sure! Here's a link to an article with the full explanation, which I will summarize.

The flag of the 28th Virginia infantry was captured during Pickett's charge at the Battle of Gettysburg by Marshall Sherman, a private in the 1st Minnesota infantry. He was awarded a Medal of Honor for this act.

He looks pretty smug, right? I probably would be too.

But Virginia wants her flag back. She's been asking for a really long time. Like... 150 years. The state of Minnesota, however, does not agree that Virginia should have the flag. Here's a brief rundown of that struggle:

A president ordered the return of the flag

Congress passed a resolution to return the flag

Reenactors demanded the return of the flag and threatened to sue

Virginia asked for it back in 1965 for the 100th anniversary of the Civil War

The US Army's chief of military history wanted the flag to be displayed in Virginia

Virginia governor asked to "borrow" the flag

As amusing as this might be, it's a great example about the complexities of cultural heritage, especially as it related to the American Civil War. But if you're ever in Saint Paul, go say hi.
