RE: Virginia Governor Announces Removal of Robert E. Lee Statue
As we as a nation or state continue to remove confederate memorials and statues, should we go ahead and remove the Vietnam Memorial?.
That was a very unpopular war, many disagreed with why we were fighting.

Do we need to add names to those Civil War monuments of the soldiers of the community or states where those monuments are located?
People are misinformed when they believe those are only monuments to states rights and slavery.
They are memorials to people who may not have agreed to the political reasons for the war, (just like Vietnam), but were fighting for their state, community and their homes.
There are so many books, letters articles about those who sacrificed, showed courage, bravery, loyalty, mercy, determination, love and more on both sides of the war.
But most of those are hidden away on dusty bookshelves, and digital archives. They are mostly forgotten.
We need public reminders of the virtues and qualities of character these people had.
That's what I see that we are pulling down and replacing them with emptiness.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
