“History shouldn’t blind us; it must enlighten us. To ignore parts of history is to minimize and possibly destroy what history can teach us.”
We built this community. Who is Walsh to undo our celebration?
The reason I feel strongly about the memorial is that I know the local citizens who worked and saved for the monument, never meant it to be “a bad thing’………….My Great Grandfather, Brig.Gen. William Verbeck received a medal from Italy due to the monument being erected and I dare say the ‘249th National Guard Regiment’ marched in the parade.
