Nope, a mixed view over there. Some are saying hand the crosses over and than hug them. Others saying don't allow them to have them or tell them they will paint over the name and just leave it as white.
Yes, I noticed
BTW .. there was other stuff that was reported on that call from Crawford that I didn't mention for obvious reasons :0)

Imagine gathering a group of people together and going on a caravan to protest a woman who is grieving the loss of her son.
Preposterous. Downright evil. So Republican.

If they are the mothers - let them all grieve in their own way. Treat them with dignity and respect. But take pictures - of the women and of the crosses - so IF these are not the mothers of those who are represented by the crosses - it is exposed.
Here is one that is questioning if the gold star mothers really are.
Of course cover the names that THEY CLAIM as their son/daughter, but I would do a little quiet research of the names of those claiming to GS moms.
Here is one saying the gold star mothers should pay for the lumber.
I thought those crosses had been set up in California months before they were moved to Camp Casey. Why are they all in a dither now? I say let them have the crosses. I think they should offer the price of the lumber too. They can't do anything if they are replaced with blank crosses with no names to keep the numbers right.
Here is one saying give them one and then replace it after they leave.
. Why don't they just make extra ones for them so if and when these mothers get their crosses, after they leave you put them back and if they complain, tell them we will not forget their loved ones and will remember them and will try to stop this war before other young men are remembered this way.
Here is one that says replace it with this.
It can be a tomb of the "Known Soldier".
