From: Huskins Arnold M Maj 81 AMDS/SGPE <Arnold.Huskins@keesler.af.mil> To: Governor Musgrove Created: 11/7/2000 2:23 PM Subject: Something to think about Message: Dear Governor Musgrove: In case you didn't see it, here is a important Letter from the Clarion Ledger which I think you ought to read. There will be a marked difference between any new design of the state flag and the current one. One will have history in every stitch, and the other will have appeasement - not compromise, appeasement One will have a soul melded by the Mississippians who gave up their own from First Bull Run to Appomattox. The other will be a soulless, ornamental husk. Touch our current flag and you may hear voices absent from the flag debate. The voices of Mississippians from the past, located where it is hard for me to envision a commission or our governor. I'm speaking of a battlefield at twilight. In its stillness, listen for the voices of the wounded and dying. Can you hear their simple prayers to God? For forgiveness, mercy or salvation? Listen further and hear their pleas. When the new design is brought out amid much pomp and hype, if you get a chance to touch it, governor, tell me what you hear, tell me how you feel. Good or ashamed?
