Our cemeteries contain the graves of thousands of US military veterans from NH who fought in the civil war against those who refused to accept our constitution and to make certain that flag would not fly over this country. Approximately 4000 from NH died while serving in the conflict. I recognize the importance of freedom of speech in this country but folks need to appreciate that one person's right to say or display something offensive does not supersede the next person's right to tell them they're an offensive #&(*@. As a ninth generation NH native I will not set aside my own right to express my heritage which includes ancestors who laid waste to everything and everyone who supported that flag.
