The past is to Lean from...Not to destioy. Please STOP this nonsense. This Country was made Great by our struggles. Right and Wrong is not in question.... Don't spread this type of hate. Put another statue beside it.... The Past n the Present. Please teach people....and stand up. Stop now or else this country will be left with nothing.
I have played around , been around , sat on this monument for 30plus years when my father was an engineer at the fire dept there i remember the monument standing then , it is at home there !
If the federal government decreed that all Confederate veterans are US VETERANS why are you messing with US VETERANS monuments?
Three Confederate grandfathers buried in Summers County and non-slave owners. To me the statue simply honors soldiers not slavery
Preserve the history of WV's divided support of both the Union and the Confederacy. This is purely an historical monument to remember the Civil War.
The confederacy is part of our history and people should learn about it. Unfortunately there are groups of people who have a political agenda and want to erase and rewrite American history.

This is a landmark not a political pawn. Leave it be for generations to come. Most that would have it taken down and are offended by it .. I would say they aren't offended at all. I bet they have never even read what it says. Don't let a (few ) dictate what is best for the majority.
