Pentagon allows Georgia flag in Vietnam amid Confederate banner dispute
The Pentagon told Southern lawmakers servicemen may fly their home state flags in South Vietnam even if they bear the Confederate insignia. After Rep. W. S. Stuckey protested a Georgia flag removal, officials traced a 1968 order to suppress Confederate symbols to reduce racial tensions, later clarifying that Georgia’s state flag could be displayed again.
