Hello All,
In Owensville, we have a beautiful monument, called the War Memorial by
most, that was erected by the War Dads in 1945. It is a beautiful brick
wall, standing over 8 feet tall and 20 feet wide, and lists all the names
of the men and women from this area who served our country in all the
wars. There is several hundred names on it.
The Owensville Parks Board, in their infinite wisdom, decided to attach a
rest room to the back side of this Memorial, using the brick wall of the
Memorial as the back wall of the rest room!
I hold the same respect for monuments and memorials that I do for the
gravestones and markers that I work with in our Pioneer cemeteries. I feel
that somehow this is a desecration of this Memorial to our Patriots, and a
slap in the face to Veterans.
Am I thinking wrong here? Is this different than a cemetery?
