A Virginia group that advocates for the use of the Confederate flag advertised its cause with a misspelled banner, according to a report published Saturday in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

The banner, which read, “Confederate heros matter” was flown by the Virginia Flaggers, a group that is “dedicated to the promotion of and education in flagging as a way to protect and defend all Confederate heritage,” according to its Facebook page.

The group attributed the misspelling of “heroes” to “pilot error.”
