As a life long resident of the North with family that served only in the Union, I would not were the Confederate Memorial, but would not look down on anyone that did. Northern or Southern. It is a very beautiful combination that when I first saw it I wanted it. But the traditionalist in me finds no linkage to it.

Very nice creation Mark. I like the symbolism that was included in your design.
