[h=1]CONFEDERATE FLAG SUPPORTERS TO RIDE[/h]By: T.H. Merritt
Recent efforts to remove the Confederate Flag have ignited a firestorm among flag supporters and those who oppose it. As Walton County Commissioners prepare to consider whether to remove the flag from the Confederate War Memorial in Defuniak Springs, local residents are taking action.
Santa Rosa Beach attorney Daniel Uhlfelder is petitioning the Commission to remove the flag and presented 1,300 signatures at last week’s meeting.
Meanwhile, 27-year old Walton County native Justin Hammond has organized a Southern Pride Ride this Saturday beginning at 9 AM at the Paxton Community Center and ending at Miramar Beach. Hammond says he has never been involved in any kind of political movement but he felt like he had to do something in the wake of the onslaught of opposition against something he sees as an attempt to destroy southern heritage and culture.
Hammond says about 75 people have already signed up for the event on a facebook page he started called Southern Pride Ride Walton County. He got the idea for the event after seeing over 2,000 people show up for a similar event in Ocala earlier this month.
Walton County Commissioners take up the issue next Tuesday, July 28[SUP]th[/SUP] at 9 AM at their meeting at the Walton County Courthouse. WZEP will have full coverage.

He is on Facebook. Send him a msg. I'm sure he is a tad inundated with them at the moment though. WZEP did a phone interview with him today. He said it will air at 6 - 7- & 8 tomorrow and again at noon. Tune in and have a listen.
If you would like to ride...
Here is the link to the Pride Ride info.
