Mount Soledad sits high in the view,where it can plainly be seen for miles.long ago people thoughtful,with grateful open hearts decided to build a monument to the men and women who had given their lives for those in a far away country.
The idea was to say thank you Honorable fifty plus thousands of soldiers for your service.Thank you for going to the aid of those oppressed.Thank you for risking your all or giving their lives and futures to others.
The people also had a sense of God and Country.They remembered the Pledge of Allegiance words that used to say One Nation Under God.A decision to use the cross to symbolize the fallen going to
a better place than the Hell they fell in.Meant only as a jester of God Bless You soldier.Perhaps even a wish to hope the soldiers will find the paradise that is hoped for by most people,after life ends.
There are also those that did survive and returned home.Shouldn't they see something tangible saying God Bless You SIR.We appreciate your sacrifices.Thank You in a pitifully unequal way,but thank you.
There are many monuments over the Heroic soldiers that fell in Battle.Think about what this will mean if these 2 men are able to remove such symbols of our Fallen Hero's.Will the next disgruntled
person file to have all military cemeteries symbolic items removed?Will the honored dead be left to the whims of a couple malcontents who think the world must go as they think...
There is always those that return from war in a state of mind scrambled by what they experienced.
Many I have spoken with have either lost faith by expecting to see miracles in wars that are horrible and hellish.They must have missed the miracles that are always there in plain sight,if you look with eyes open and a willing heart.Missing that vision would void any idea of a more than normal event such a child born in a war torn place.A bullet that missed you by fractions of an inch.returning as the only survivor.your task in life is not done and you life is to go on for an unknown task.
To miss the "miracles" in life can leave one bitter and resentful of others who try to fill in the unknown blanks of our destinies in life.
The symbols we put up help us never forget those who have filled a destiny to open the doors for those surviving to carry on. Should the courts represented by 2 individuals determine the sacrifices for the thousands who did not return to cause the memories their fellow veterans to be torn down and forgotten.
This is a case of dictated Laws eroding the Constitutional Rights.The statue is a symbol of the eternal hope of mankind.It is directed at those who made that sacrifice to save those who died for others in an unselfish as an elevated spirit...A hidden religious meaning would have to be in the mind of some one rebellious and disappointed at their own lives.
It seems those two guys are bent on punishing fellow veterans for their military service to this country.I think they need to visit A symbol of the war they were in..Perhaps if that to counts as a monument to honor the fallen they might feel differently.
If these guys have there way an monuments with symbols are tore down that honor the fallen...
wont the wall in Washington an Arlington National Cemetery also fall under the same law when it spreads across the country as a dictated law?? Then what, tear the cross from churches so it wont offend these two American Veterans...
The spree decor ,ETC of their specific units must not have meant anything at all to these men.
it is things like this that distract us from the issues that actually matter.A statue on a desert hill that has stood for decades and thousands of folks peacefully passing it over time.Then a couple disjointed
people with nothing else to do tie up courts with an argument over it standing.
Your Honor,I implore you to throw the case and plaintiffs out on their Dari airs and get on with the important things in the state.

I have not found much more on this situation.Hope they did not get their way...
