I've spoken before about the crosses at the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.
There's a loud movement to get them removed.
I've said strong words about how I would stand between someone tearing them down and the memorial.
Yes, it is a religious symbol on Federal land and maintained with Federal money.
This fight is not about State Religion. It is about the rights of veterans to choose how their cemeteries look. We want the crosses there. The fallen have paid in blood for the right to have any symbol we want on the ground that is supposed to honor their, ultimate, sacrifice. We, the veterans, reject the whims, arguments and claims of those who have sacrificed nothing to decide how we choose to honor our dead.
The monies spent by the Feds is merely a small stipend that goes to pay back some of what these people gave. We owe them more than we can ever pay, and never pay in mere money.
If your feelings are hurt when I say that I would be more willing to see you dead than those crosses taken down, tough shit.
