ARLINGTON, Va. — A Confederate memorial is to be removed from Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia in the coming days, part of the push to remove symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities, a cemetery official said Saturday.
The decision ignores a recent demand from more than 40 Republican congressmen that the Pentagon suspend efforts to dismantle and remove the monument from Arlington cemetery.

A memorial to the treasonous traitorous southern states who attempted to destroy the country has no place of honor in a UNION CEMETERY!
"The decision ignores a recent demand from more than 40 Republican congressmen that the Pentagon suspend efforts to dismantle and remove the monument from Arlington cemetery."
We need to dismantle and remove the forty, traitorous treasonous republican congressmen from Washington, DC. Let them go back to their treasonous traitorous capitol in Montgomery, AL.
