Dear Ms. Lunelle,
It is with deep sadness for me that the Secretary of Defense is a Black man from the Great State of Alabama and would be the in the Federal government to lead the charge in restarting the hostilities between the North and South.
A decorated military man who saw the Southern Cross flying over many a battle and studied the travails of the 31st Infantry (Dixie Division ) in military schools he attended. And would never open his mouth against a Senator who broke the United States Constitutional Law by introducing a Bill of Attainder contending the Confederate soldiers were traitors.
"Lloyd J. Austin"sworn in as Secretary of Defense 02-22-21 colludes with Elizabeth Warren to tear down the New South Cenotaph that was the brainchild of a former Union Officer of the War Between the States; and later President McKinley. It was his thoughts as he watched and read of the courageous deeds of the former Confederate soldiers who were not allowed to be buried in the National Cemetery of Arlington, that they should not only be allowed burial but also have a Memorial there as well.
He would ask of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to build such a Shrine that would be a symbol forever to the reunification of those forces from the North and South. President Taft would give the Keynote at the unveiling of this shrine and would echo in his Speech the sentiments of McKinley.
Renowned Jewish Monument builder and a former Confederate soldier, Moses Ezekiel would be set to the task. And his marvel would heap praise from all who gazed upon and visited this Shrine of Reconciliation that Commander In Chiefs of the United States Armed Forces would lay a wreath on its base every year since its unveiling.
I suppose that Austin's next charge will be to go back to his home State of Alabama to the State Capitol and tear down the spiral staircase in the Capitol building built by Renowned Bridge Builder, Black Confederate soldier Horace King.
And, sadly, Austin should know about the Reconstruction modus operandi of using Black folks to justify the evil done against Southern White folk and our homeland.
In watching the Arlington National Cemetery Advisory Committee discuss the renaming of the road surrounding Section 16, the primary proposal was James Parks, a former Custis slave and groundskeeper at Arlington buried there with full military honors. Now Parks is to become a weapon in the destruction of the Reconciliation Cenotaph and the desecration of the hallowed ground envisioned by President McKinley.
Parks’ family should give a resounding “no” to this.
And let us not forget the hack of a supposed military Historian proposing Parks, who should stick to WWI… "Allison Finkelstein" who knows nothing of the history of Arlington Estate.
