The battle over a confederate flag at an Elizabethton cemetery wages on...and this time, the Sons of Confederate Veterans are on the defensive.
The group filed a police report Sunday after they said someone stole their flag.
A member of the group says they've since put up a new, more recognizable confederate flag at Green Hill Cemetery in the other flag's absence.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans held a ceremony to dedicate the previous flag last month in recognition of lieutenant Robert J. Tipton and three other confederate veterans buried there.
The Watauga Historical Association fought that effort, saying Green Hill is not a military cemetery...and should not be home to a large, confederate flag.
Elizabethton Police say they currently have no leads in this case.
