If you ever find yourself in northern Virginia around memorial day, go to Spotsylvania. They have a Confederate cemetery just north of Spotsylvania Court House, in a serene secluded spot, surrounded by spruce and oak trees, which gives the cemetery an isolated feeling. There is a beautiful marble statue in the center of the cemetery and the soldiers are buried in sections by state. Somebody (probably the local SCV chapter) places a small flag on every grave. They place a Bonny Blue flag on the Alabama soldiers' graves, a 1st National on the North Carolinians' graves, a 2nd National on the Virginians' graves and so on. Some years, they place small state flags on the graves in the appropriate section. You will find 50 little Alabama flags over the Alabamians. Nice touch.
