Hi Fellow Researchers,
I have just read and signed this online petition:
"National Cemetery Protection Act"
hosted on the web by
PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree,
too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing
yourself.
Several years ago I was witnessed two headstones that had been removed
from their base by vandals. This was at a local cemetery, what I witnessed
really got to me as the caretaker of the cemetery proceeded to back his
truck up and toss both stones into the back of the truck, breaking one of
them. When I got a bit upset and asked why in the world he did that, why
didn't he simply find the grave and place them back, I was told that the
graves were old, the families don't care anymore and he simply didn't have
the time. This kind of stuff we need to put a stop too.
Major legislation is necessary NOW!!!
If you have a minute, please take a look at the petition, Thanks for your
time and have a wonderful holiday weekend,
Debie
