In 2024, Yugene Vindman, a Democratic politician, posed for a photograph with the Virginia state flag that was used during the American Civil War in the 1860s. After learning of his mistake, Vindman argued that Virginia should redesign its flag, as he believed that the Civil War flag and the current flag were too similar and easily confused.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kiser |first=Uriah |date=2024-04-17 |title=Yugene Vindman calls for review of Virginia's State Flag amid controversy over Confederate symbolism |url=https://www.potomaclocal.com/2024/04/17/yugene-vindman-calls-for-review-of-virginias-state-flag-amid-controversy-over-confederate-symbolism/ |access-date=2025-04-19 |website=Potomac Local News |language=en}}</ref>
