VoteVets.org - Ban Confederate symbols in the military

The Marines have officially ordered the removal of all Confederate symbols and flags in public areas.

Today, we’re renewing our calls for the Army, Navy, and Air Force to do the same and requesting the Army rename 10 bases that bear the name of Confederate generals.

As hundreds of thousands of people across the country take to the streets to demand justice for Black Americans, the Army, Navy, and Air Force must take the important step to remove these symbols of hate. Add your name if you agree.

SIGN THE PETITION

This isn’t about history — it’s about keeping symbols of hate out of our nation’s military. Soldiers of the Confederacy have a place in books, museums, and other educational centers that can properly teach – not honor – what they fought a war against the United States of America for.

Confederate symbols, statutes, and military bases named after Confederate generals serve no purpose but to encourage white supremacists and perpetuate racism.

Add your name to demand the Army, Navy, and Air Force follow the example of the Marines and remove all public displays of Confederate flags and symbols.
