Town Council Opposes Fallen Soldier Memorial for Absolutely Insane Reason
2015-04-19
From Conservative Tribune: Heaven forbid liberals be reminded about our military's sacrifice for their freedom...

In Milford, MI, a local veterans group wants to complete their current Veteran's Memorial with a fallen soldier monument but the Town Council is concerned that it is inappropriate.

The piece, commonly referred to as a battle cross, is an 8-foot monument featuring a pair of boots, an M-16 rifle, helmet and dog tags. Some on the Village Council are concerned it is inappropriate for this location.

#9  #3 Strange, Milford doesn't appear to be a goofy community

Milford is rural Michigan (or was. we used to canoe thru there along the Huron in Boy Scouts)

Rural Michigan tends to lean Red. I would bet this is not a popular position with the locals. Just another episode of Administrators Gone Wild.

#8  Ship the people that want to block a MILITARY MEMORIAL for showing guns over to ISIS held territory.

#7  Same arguments the idiots used in Colorado to try to block the Danny Dietz memorial in Littleton - because it depicts him holding a rifle.

#4  There's room for compromise here. How about a tasteful depiction of OBL being pitched off the deck of the Carl Vinson in a sack labelled "Pork Chops"? Or maybe Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty fighting to the death on a rooftop in Benghazi?

#3  Strange, Milford doesn't appear to be a goofy community at their website. Milford--rather a pretty little community.
