The loss of so many of America's battlefields dating back to before the American Revolution is disgraceful. I saw firsthand places like Monmouth Court House and Salem Church battlefields, where the blood of so many Americans was spilled, turned into shopping malls and housing developments with absolutely no concern for the events that transpired there so long ago. It's not a surprise to see that kids have very little understanding, appreciation and pride for American history when they see adults obliterating it for the sake of $$$$$ and convenience. Sad, very sad.

I have not gone up by Monmouth battlefield in years...did they ruin it? I remember class trips to the towns where battles were fought. It was always very interesting. That church in Monmouth county where the wounded soldiers were taken was the last place I visited but I can not for the life of me remember its name.
