It appears there is already a Union monument at Olustee, or at least at the Cemetery. Has been since 1991.

I have no idea where this is in relation to the battlefield or the proposed site.

I guess it may be as much a matter of semantics, than of realities. This is considered to be a grave marker, rather than a battlefield memorial. Apparently, it’s located at a distance from the battlefield. For me, it works fine as a monument, but the proprietorial attitude of the SCV gets under some people’s skins.
