I see that the Army wants to remove a Confederate memorial from Arlington cemetery (Monday Review-Journal). This systematic attempt to remove history is getting ridiculous. I expect they will want to remove the headstones of the 400 some Confederate soldiers buried there next — or maybe even the graves themselves. Get real, people. You can’t erase the past.
