Repairing it only kicks the can down the road so to speak.

Go back to the quarry where the original stone was taken from...make an exact replacement...then the Old Guard and MDW can have a huge ceremony to commemorate the new “old” tomb.

Should we fix the Liberty Bell while we are at it?

[Rumplemeyer]

Repair it, not because of the cost to replace it, the memorial is like the Nation, old, scared, strong and dignified.

The last thing we need is a “Politically Correct” memorial, just think of the goat roping that design will be.

Everything does not need to be new and improved, what next, a new Liberty Bell (that one is cracked and so “1776”)?

If it’s replaced, what happens to the original?

To all who are seriously interested in this issue, I suggest you click on the 25 page pdf document below entitled:

“ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY TOMB OF THE UNKNOWNS MONUMENT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT PROJECT JUNE 1, 2006 DRAFT”

http://www.arlingtoncemetery.org/photo_gallery/ANC.pdf

Pages 8-11 are particularly relevant to this thread.

What the Libs and RATS want to do is replace it with a flat monument and then, later one, bury that one and disband the Old Guard.

The Libs and RATS only want to bury the uncomfortable fact that good men and women have given their lives to preserve the way of life that they detest and want obliterated.
