Finally a government policy initiative I can get behind enthusiastically.

I hope the Congress does preserve as many battlefields as still exist. This I don’t mind spending money on.

By the way:

Those muskets are the assault weapons of their day, therefore are they legal in NJ? Just a question.

Good.....at the rate things are going, we may need these battlefields again, soon.

Strange... you'd think these days they'd be spending billions of dollars to tear them up and build Walmarts so American consumer serfs can support the Chinese economy...

How did this slip through???

The nearest large battlefield to me has been turned into a condo complex and a Walmart in the last few years.

It’s a shame, the ridge on it had a good history in the war, and has a commanding view of the entire valley system.

Would be nice if they could save the historic Von Steuben house on the Hackensack, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1822284/posts

Would be nice if the Feds bought out Princeton University’s battlefield so the battlefield could be maintained as a historic site instead of being used to construct faculty housing in 2010.

Let’s hope they don’t rename them all after you know who...
