During the Taylor family visit to Lexington, Va. CHCO President Ed Taylor Jr. spoke to the area tourism director and Lexington mayor about this historic revisionist idea to erase the Historic-Christian Confederate flag from such a Confederate historic city. The Cumberland Historic Cemetery Organiztion always supports the flying of all Confederate flags, a true American symbol of Liberty and freedom.

On Aug. 10, 2011 Taylor had an editorial published in the Lexington Newspaper in support of flying Confedrate flags.
