What about IOOF monument?
--------------------------------------------------------
I have recently read in the paper about all of
the interest in the new World War II memorial
in Washington, D.C. The City of Marion has
another new war monument as well as another
statue to honor Dr. Martin Luther King.
I agree with these tributes to worthy
individuals. I do, however, want to remind the
people in Grant County that a couple of years
ago, when the memorial at the old IOOF
Cemetery, which was placed to honor the
soldiers who fought in the Civil War, was
broken and sold off, there was nothing done
about the desecration.
Am I to believe that the sacrifices of an
earlier generation are less meaningful than
those of recent patriots?
I would still like an answer from the
prosecutor as to why this robbery was not
worthy of pursuit.
