I am always at Gettysburg for the anniversary of the battle...civil war nut case that I am. I will let you know what I see of these crazy nut cases. It is not allowed to create a fire on park property so they will be arrested on site. Also the graves they planning to desecrate are all union soldier graves. My guess they might plan to desecrate the few confederate monuments on site.
I have visited Gettysburg battlefield twice. If I recall correctly, isn’t the only cemetery for the fallen in battle around the Union victory monument? There is a fenced off portion for individual burials but the monument itself is surrounded by concentric rings of mass burials of unknown Union dead. No monuments, just bronze placards in the ground giving the state and number of bodies buried underneath it. Eerie to be casually walking over the graves of so many.
If I remember correctly, the Confederate monuments are across the fields to the southeast The few I recall were very restrained; a martial figure of some sort and maybe the name of the state. Maybe a placard giving unit information. Almost like a roll call of honor.
Yeah, I can see BLM or AntiFa desecrating a southern Civil War monument at Gettysburg. And I can see just about every patriotic American, regardless of politics, turning against them.
One of those graves is a relative of mine. I may just have to meet you there is this starts to sound more serious.
