Is the Vietnam memorial the final resting place for thousands of people?
People leave all sorts of things at this memorial. The park rangers collect it twice a day and more frequently in bad weather. If they did not, the memorial would be waist deep in stuff.
Organic material is tossed. The rest is cataloged and stored.
Is the Vietnam memorial the final resting place for thousands of people?
The Vietnam memorial has no religious symbolism. It is a wall with the names of those Americans who gave their life for the Republic of South Vietnam, listed in the order that they died.
It's a freaking big 5 foot cross planted at the side of the road on city land. The city won't allow other signs or advertising in this location so why this? Move it back on to private land with the billboards. I understand grief, friends and young men in my family have died tragically and way too young, but I don't demand or expect space in public places to erect memorials.
While I agree with the OP on the article, the whole premise that atheists are intolerant bigots is a lost cause. We all know that it's the religious population that is by far, more representative of "intolerant bigots." Please stop with the damage control already. Numerous people are denied so many basic things due to sexual orientation or other personal attributes. So, I don't want to hear it.
It didn't hurt one single thing, nobody was going to burst into flames by looking at it, it's just that some people are just petty fools with nothing better to do except complain, their lives are miserable so they try to hurt others.
