After WWI many U.S. soldiers moved to the Californian desert to find physical and emotional healing.

The site for the memorial was chosen because at a certain time of day, the sun casts a shadow on the rock which resembles a WWI doughboy. For more than 75 years, the memorial has stood as a reminder that there were those who fought and died for our freedoms. But sadly today, the ACLU and a federal judge in California, want to tear it down. (VIDEO)

It’s a sad day when the fags at the aCLU and one of their “judges” win out over our veterans. This isn’t America anymore.

The Godless communist scum of the ACLU strike again. Another group that our soldiers die to protect, and dog crap is more deserving.

The cross in the middle of this desolate area, well if it bothers someone then they have too much time on their hands. Clearly, the case is just one more chapter by the aclu, to erase any symbols of Christianity. They could care less about the Constitution or the original intent; they have twisted over the last few decades.
