Removal of Confederate Monuments

[L Verge]

One of my volunteers knows that I am disenchanted with the Washington Post, so she saves anything history related that they might publish. A recent article from "John Kelly's Washington" feature described a wonderful club of retirees in northern Virginia suburbs who meet every Friday morning at a McDonald's in Fairfax City to hash out the Civil War over their hash browns. With that area being Mosby territory, JEB Stuart territory, and lots of little things related to the war, there is a lot to be discussed.

The very last item in the article, however, is what we should all pay attention to. When asked about the arguments over what to do about the flags and statues that honor the Confederacy, one gentleman quoted Winston Churchill: "Those who start an argument between the past and the present lose the future." That should be posted on billboards across the nation, imo.
