Thanks to NBC News and the Associated Press for the above headline
In truth when I read this , I at first could not believe it and I’m pleased that there has been outrage voiced by many people in Europe and the United States.
The War Dead are dead and cannot protect themselves, removing a plaque specifically about Black soldiers who were serving their Country is not acceptable.
It is not woke to object and say it is wrong. What is woke is for the American Battle Monuments Commission to say that the stories of the soldiers ” are rotated out ” . How disrespectful is that?
Also for the US Ambassador to the Netherlands Joe Popolo to say on social media.
” The signs at Margraten are not intended to promote an agenda that criticizes America.”
The Dead can’t criticize, but the lives that they led and the fact that they died in a foreign land fighting for their Country does bear witness and must not be forgotten or worse of all be swept away by a Presidential Executive Order. Yes, History and the Truth of segregation hurt and must continue to do so to prevent History being repeated.
