In honor of our hero General Meade and in recognition of this masterful work by Alexander Calder, I strongly urge the monuments relocation.

Simply stated Meade out generaled R.E. Lee, one of the most respected America generals, at Gettysburg. As Philadelphia's own, his statue should be at Philadelphia's landmark City Hall.

General Meade, the victor at the turning point battle of Gettysburg, deserves a place of honor in center city Philadelphia

General Meade won one of the greatest victories of any American general in any war. He should be properly recognized today.

Richard Crosby

I agree that the Meade Statue should be relocated.

Thomas Joyce

It seems to me that General Meade did not seek public recognition in life and would not now. I feel that his warrior image should stay in the place that he loved in life and has resided for the last many years.

McClellan statue at City Hall and Meade in the back of Fairmount Park....what's wrong with this picture??? General Meade was a great soldier who never got credit for what he did in the Civil War. Philadelphia should be proud. MOVE HIS STATUE

Give Meade his due! And while we're at it, we should erect a monument to Octavius Catto at City hall, as well.

One of Pennsylvania's greatest military "sons" deserves a place of greater honor and visibility.

Excellent idea. Certainly he deserves to be located in a more visible location and certainly he was at least as noteworthy and dedicated to the cause as his two compatriots currently located on the proposed site.

General Meade should be given the respect he deserves. His monument needs to be where more of the public can appreciate it.
