Gettysburg: 1863-2009

Well, Gettysburg is probably the most overhonored place in American History. What do I mean by that? If you ever been there, you can hardly go to any place that is even remotely untouched and left in it's natural state. Now, honors to the brave men is fine. They sacrificed alot for both sides.

But, when I went to Gettysburg, I was bummed out by the hundreds of statues that dotted every couple yards.

Now with that said: Why do people want to desecrate the monuments?! A couple years ago, several Union monuments had been vandalized, one of them lost his arm. Come on people, leave the hallowed places of America be. They stand as monuments of democracy and freedom.
