After making our way to VMI, we assembled on the parade grounds, at Jackson's statue. Almost immediately, Cadets came out to speak with us, and to pose for photos with Generals Jackson and Lee. As three young men were standing with us, a man came out of the archway, very agitated and screaming the Cadets' names. He approached and demanded they get away from “those people” and “that thing” . We can only assume that by “those people” he meant the re-enactors portraying Lee and Jackson, and the men and women gathered to honor them on the holiday, and by “that thing” he meant the Confederate Battle Flag.
