According to their web site,
The organization was originally known as the "Confederate Air Force."
Following a membership vote in 2001 and made effective on January 1,
2002, the organization is now known as the Commemorative Air Force.
So I don't think anybody's being harassed here. Why they were
originally named the Confederate Air Force I have no idea.
