Your help is needed once again in our fight to save Buffington Island
Battlefield and the graves of Morgan's Raiders and other casualties who died
on this hollowed ground on July 19, 1863.
The situation is very critical as mining could begin any day,
removing gravel and soil at the rate of 10,000 cubic yards per week, perhaps
containing, God forbid, the remains of Confederate and Union soldiers!!
Some may argue the validity of preserving battlefields but has it come to
the point that pleas have to be made to preserve cemeteries and burial
sites?
We have a moral obligation to prevent the bones of Americas dead and the
sacred ground in which they are buried from being mined and shipped down the
Ohio River to become yet another parking lot or part of a highway.
A petition will be send to Bob Taft, Governor of Ohio, urging him to
intervene in this matter.
Please follow this link :
http://www.e-thepeople.com/petition.cfm?PETID=234417
Your signature is needed!
It is dead wrong for our nation's heritage and history to be ignored and
sold out to the highest bidder.
It is a travesty to deny the same respect to the brave soldiers who died at
Buffington Island that we accord to all other
Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice and fell in battle.
Please share this message with as many people as possible!
Thank you!!
For our heritage!
