It's Not Just the Confederacy Underfire

[L Verge]

I meant to post a photo of this memorial and forgot. Go here for the photo and the history as supported by the American Legion https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/all...edirect=on

You can also type in Bladensburg Peace Cross for info from Wiki. One note that you might pick up on when reading the history is that this monument to WWI casualties with additional recognition to succeeding wars is within walking distance of the War of 1812 Battle of Bladensburg site where American forces were defeated, allowing British troops to enter Washington City and set it ablaze.

I'm sure that most of the readers here already know where my conservative views lie, but we had a discussion at work the other day as to what the Supreme Court's decision might mean in terms of the millions of military cemeteries here and abroad that have headstones marked with crosses and Stars of David.

It was also surprising to me when this issue first came up several years ago to find that there is a Freedom FROM Religion Foundation. I don't have an opinion on that one way or the other, but it was another lesson learned in the field of civil history.
