This is not a “monument” only. It is a grave marker for mass grave of 17 soldiers, only one of whom is known.

Regardless what the snide ass on FB who ignorantly insisted obelisks are only monuments and not tombstones!

Oh, you are genius!

Maybe not that, but something else nasty. Something that also helps identify them....LOL

Oak Wood cemetary south side of Chicago. Just waiting for something there. Monument to Confederate dead POW'S from the Camp Douglas prison. I have kin there. Got me into SCV. Will not be amused if anything goes awry.

You mean you only have the temporary flag holders? Or maybe actual headstones?

Grace Episcopal Church on Georgia Avenue was my maternal grandmother’s church. How sad! By the way, her uncle was killed at Chickamauga fighting in the 31St Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Her husband, my grandfather’s uncle was wounded at Brandy Station fighting in the 12th Virginia Cavalry. I remember those sad markers from my childhood. Lest we forget!

Marker. I think I was told at the time it was as far as the Confederates reached in their attack on Washington, DC although that may have been a mile or two farther in.

Good grief. Whatever one may think of Confederate memorials, cemeteries should really remain untouched.

I hope the perps get caught and sent away for a long time, but this IS suburban Maryland, so I wouldn’t hold my breath. Maybe they went home the wrong way and wound up in MS-13 territory, hee-hee.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

I’m with you these vandals will all look back one day and wish they had made other choices. Everyone gets old and dies one day.

Actually, if the people they support get in charge, they could end up dying a lot sooner. Such is the way of most Revolutions.

Well, we could certainly do without Baltimore, but Maryland really is the “Land of Pleasant Living.”

Exactly. The War Between The States has been taken completely out of context by our modern Marxists and used as a political/propaganda tool. More notably missing from their doctrine are the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers that died, LBJ’s Great Society, the Civil Rights Act and other programs intended to set things right.

I “lived” in monkey country md for 30+ years before escaping. My perspective is that the state is LIB hellhole with many truly worthless people...ferals, illegal alien invaders, welfare bums, LIBs, current & retired government parasites (aka: “workers”). Free at last! Thank God....Free at last! I guess I agree to disagree.

I am concerned about this as well. A cemetary in ohip in which i have relatives buried, has confederate graves.

No, it’s the Land of Peasant Living.

Ask Hogan.

It's Montgomery county, don't hold your breath.

UPDATE:

Because I had to counter some wishy-washy libs, I checked out Grace Epis website.

Here is their pathetic cuckolded statement, so our group needn’t have bothered to offer any assistance:

Bear in mind they already ceded this weekend to BLM appeasement, before the desecration.

LOL!

I, for one, officially welcome our new nihilist overlords.

I hope that they put the Mooninites in charge.
