This is our stay at home weekend as we honor those who gave their lives for freedom.  As a child, we often drove from Iowa to Indiana, and put flowers on family graves.  My uncle put flags on the graves of those who served.  

This is from Heather Cox Richardson today:

President Donald J. Trump’s proposed triumphal arch would sit at a rotary on the Virginia side of the Arlington Memorial Bridge between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The proposed arch obscures the Lincoln Memorial, built to honor the president who steered the country safely through the Civil War, but perfectly frames Arlington House, the mansion built by enslaved Americans and once owned by Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The arch does not frame the nation’s honored dead, but frames instead the home of the man who led the armies of the Confederacy that killed them.

How did things become so skewed?
