But a compelling case - informally, just for the sake of discussion - could be made that we've come full circle and now Charleston has embraced Old Abe, at last. It's about time.

Based on one photograph, that is a huge conjecture. Besides, after my experience with folks from South Carolina, I don’t think the average current view, would be to “embrace” Abraham Lincoln.
Besides, more specifically, the man mowing the lawn, named Chris Cox, the Charleston, a SC resident, carries a Southern Carolina state flag, while mowing the neglected lawn of the Lincoln Memorial, has stated in more than one interview, that he is not motivated by politics, and that he intends to tackle the lawns of Vietnam and World War II memorials and surrounding grounds. He stated, he has also, blown the leaves and cleaned up the trash, of the walkways, and surrounding areas. He stated he wanted the memorials to look nice for the Million Vet March, which is occurring, now. Cox, purchased a lawnmower and blower, for the tasks, and since his one man, militia march, on untidy lawns was caught on camera, and featured in the news, a group by the name of CrowdItForward.com, have started online raising efforts, which were aimed at buying Cox a $1,500.00 Riding Lawnmower.
