Current Western Theater Headquarters' Flag
The Western Theater HQ flag under the second command of Lt General Scott Ludwig.       
The flag's background is the "stainless" white flag used previous.  The flag has components from the
two armies in the Western Theater. The Army of Alabama and the Army of the Mississippi.
This is shown in the upper left corner that has the red crimson cross of St. Andrew from the State of
Alabama's flag representing that army. Placed over it is the Great Seal of the State of Mississippi,
to represent that army.  The blue cross and the stars represent the cross of St. George from the
Sovereignty or Secession Flag. Finally in the upper right is the Battle Flag turned upwards to represent
the Confederacy as a whole and the mixture of various flags used during the War.
