sunrise rock ( Archived) (14)

this is a blog and my opinion only of curse i got my facts from cnn online newscast.



please forgive my typing it is one handed lately. in the mohave desert a place called sunrise rock holds a memorial to fallen soldiers since 1934. the memorial has been boarded up. why you ask or maybe you don't care lol. the symbol is a simple cross that has been faithfully maintained by friends of the old ww1 veteran and miner who put it there. he originally constructed a very plain wood cross, his friends who travel almost 300 miles put up a metal cross keeping a promise to their beloved friend.

here's the deal a gentleman who is religious and a vet decided he didn't like that idea so he went to the supreme court to have this cross taken down. all these years it was not an issue it wasn't as if a church was built there just a simple memorial to fallen ones as if to say to say we will remember you.i am not particularly religious but this country was based on the idea of certain freedoms sure the freedom to be an atheist or even an ant worshiper but when did things become so idiotic. its not a monument to a god but a very humanistic icon honoring those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. it is someone trying to keep their word to a friend. i suppose in the grand scheme that cross in the middle of public land what an abomination lol. maybe all the other crosses or symbols in public property should be uprooted also.help blues frustrated

sorry my spelling is atrocious lately

good point it was a symbol of honor put up in an age where it was acceptable. now they need to leave it be

that old mans legacy in the form of that cross was to be a friend and in a way give voice to those whose voices are silenced too soon in war
