For those of you who have not heard this story please take the time to watch the You Tube below about the efforts being undertaken by the ACLU for one poor, pathetic "could be offended" Oregon man who wants a memorial cross erected to WWI veterans removed from public land in the Mojave Desert. Since 1934 this memorial has stood proudly to remind veterans who visit it of the pain and agony of the first world war and to provide a place where they could come and help heal themselves.
I don't fault the ACLU, after all their mission in life is to file stupid and meaningless law suits time and again - it pays their salaries and bills along with the donations they get as a 501-C-3 foundation. However, I must question where they spend time and money when it comes to such frivolous nonsense as this.
Read and then watch and then make up your own mind:
After WWI many U.S. soldiers moved to the Californian desert to find physical and emotional healing. In 1934, they erected a memorial to honor their fallen comrades, a single white cross, - a symbol used around the world to memorialize those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The site for the memorial was chosen because at a certain time of day, the sun casts a shadow on the rock which resembles a WWI doughboy. For more than 75 years, the memorial has stood as a reminder that there were those who fought and died for our freedoms.
But sadly today, the ACLU and a federal judge in California, want to tear it down. In fact, the judge has ordered the memorial covered from view while the case is on appeal.
You can join in saying "Don't Tear Me Down."
Americans should honor their war heroes and the freedoms they so valiantly protect; and we're taking our case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court this fall.
