Battle over 75-yr old Mojave Desert Memorial. "donttearmedown.com"

After WWI many U.S. soldiers moved to the Californian desert to find physical and emotional healing. In 1934, they erected a memorial to honor their fallen comrades, a single white cross, - a symbol used around the world to memorialize those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The site for the memorial was chosen because at a certain time of day, the sun casts a shadow on the rock which resembles a WWI doughboy. For more than 75 years, the memorial has stood as a reminder that there were those who fought and died for our freedoms. But sadly today, the ACLU and a federal judge in California, want to tear it down. In fact, the judge has ordered the memorial covered from view while the case is on appeal. Please join us in saying "donttearmedown." We think Americans should honor their war heroes and the freedoms they so valiantly protect; and we're taking our case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court this fall. Please join us in this battle, go to www.donttearmedown.com.

I know many muslims, jewish people, and christains alike who feel that judge is just an intollerant ass hole that judge is a fucking joke he doesn't even live in california

strange thing is that not too many news networks or tv shows by now are even covering this blatant act of unpatriotism that the ACLU has commited

damn... the ACLU are seriouse douche bags

[christianbrigade]

This is the typical gutless ACLU. They attack people after they have gone to the grave, especially our Heroes. Sorry no more PC crap. They take the cross down I am putting another one up. I will not let the ACLU dishonor our Veterans. If the ACLU doesn't like it, take me on. The memorial for these soldiers will not disappear in history. This memorial is above the supreme court and the American people, this was built by people who defended our freedoms and it belongs to them.
