Destruction Of Veteran Monuments Is A Felony Up To 10 Years In Prison 18 U.S. Code 1369

Enforce the laws, looks like we are going to need bigger prisons. Perhaps they can convert some of the out of business malls around the country into jails.

I do too

President Trump shouldn't have to do anything.

This responsibility falls directly on the Justice Department.

Overwhelm them with demands for action.

The one who pulled the one in North Carolina down, is in jail do not know it they made bail, but arrested they were, the laughing and bragging is gone. It was if you will not do it someone has to, so I think the one who put the rope on was the first one or the only one arrested, I think it was a female.

"commemorating the service of any person
or persons in the armed forces of the United
States shall be fined under this title, imprisoned
not more than 10 years, or both."

The Confederacy was not part of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Some here may have missed that the Confederacy was fighting the United States.

Fax those protective laws to the Houston P.D. and any other appropriate agencies.

Two more were arrested that showed up at 1st arresteds arraignment. They have all been charged with felonies.

THIS! I put the bolds in!

The Federal Government will probably step up and do their duty and prosecute any of those vandal protesting rioters.

However, we will see the same old same old from those States who are out of line with our Constitution. i.e. New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, etc...

Throw the book at them. No mercy.

I live in Connecticut,good old fashioned type and I sure do feel alone.Missing that feeling my small town shared back in November.

Confederate Veterans and Federal Law

American Civil War Homepage

Confederate and Union Veterans are Equal


Confederate Veterans are American Veterans.... By Law

The United States Government Honors Confederate Veterans and the Confederacy.

For those who believe that the Confederate States of America and the men and women who pledged allegiance to that constitutionally established government and spilled their blood and treasure in its defense are somehow illegitimate and not worthy of honor and protection by the American government, below are those laws and proclamations honoring them and their service and which proclaim that they were equal in honor and worthiness to those who served the Federal cause. Such official proclamations by the Government of the United States removes all claims against the Confederacy and those who served it and protects, defends and honors their symbols, monuments and heroes. In other words, the current assault upon all things Confederate is contrary to the laws of the United States of America and must be resisted vigorously.

Congressional Act of 9 March 1906 ~ We Honor Our Fallen Ancestors
(P.L. 38, 59th Congress, Chap. 631-34 Stat. 56)

This act authorized the furnishing of headstones for the graves of Confederates who died, primarily in Union prison camps and were buried in Federal cemeteries. Remarks: This act formally reaffirmed Confederate soldiers as military combatants with legal standing. It granted recognition to deceased Confederate soldiers commensurate with the status of deceased Union soldiers.

U.S. Public Law 810, Approved by 17th Congress 26 February 1929
(45 Stat 1307 - Currently on the books as 38 U.S. Code, Sec. 2306)

This law, passed by the U.S. Congress, authorized the "Secretary of War to erect headstones over the graves of soldiers who served in the Confederate Army and to direct him to preserve in the records of the War Department the names and places of burial of all soldiers for whom such headstones shall have been erected."

Remarks: This act broadened the scope of recognition further for all Confederate soldiers to receive burial benefits equivalent to Union soldiers. It authorized the use of U.S. government (public) funds to mark Confederate graves and record their locations.

U.S. Public Law 85-425: Sec. 410 Approved 23 May 1958
Confederate Iron Cross (US Statutes at Large Volume 72, Part 1, Page 133-134)

The Administrator shall pay to each person who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War a monthly pension in the same amounts and subject to the same conditions as would have been applicable to such person under the laws in effect on December 31, 1957, if his service in such forces had been service in the military or naval forces of the United States.

Remarks: While this was only a gesture since the last Confederate veteran died in 1958, it is meaningful in that only fifty-seven years ago, the Congress of the United States saw fit to consider Confederate soldiers as equivalent to U.S. soldiers for service benefits. This final act of reconciliation was made almost one hundred years after the beginning of the war and was meant as symbolism more than substantive reward.

Additional Note of Critical History: Under current U.S. Federal Code, Confederate Veterans are equivalent to Union Veterans.

This reconciliation period[*] led up to the Congressional Act of 9 March 1906, U.S. Public Law 810 Approved by 17th Congress 26 February 1929, and the final crown of reconciliation with U.S. Public Law 85-425: Sec. 410 Approved 23 May 1958. [*known as The Grand Bargain~ Editor]




By the President of the United States of America ~
A Proclamation

The years 1961 to 1965 will mark the one-hundredth anniversary of the American Civil War.

That war was America's most tragic experience. But like most truly great tragedies, it carries with it an enduring lesson and a profound inspiration. It was a demonstration of heroism and sacrifice by men and women of both sides who valued principle above life itself and whose devotion to duty is a part of our Nation's noblest tradition.

Both sections of our now magnificently reunited country sent into their armies men who became soldiers as good as any who ever fought under any flag. Military history records nothing finer than the courage and spirit displayed at such battles as Chickamauga, Antietam, Kennesaw Mountain, and Gettysburg. That America could produce men so valiant and so enduring is a matter for deep and abiding pride.

The same spirit on the part of the people at home supported and strengthened those soldiers through four years of great trial. That a Nation which contained hardly more than thirty million people, North and South together, could sustain six hundred thousand deaths without faltering is a lasting testimonial to something unconquerable in the American spirit. And that a transcending sense of unity and larger common purpose could, in the end, cause the men and women who had suffered so greatly to close ranks once the contest ended and to go on together to build a greater, freer, and happier America must be a source of inspiration as long as our country may last.

By a joint resolution approved on September 7, 1957 (71 Stat. 626), the Congress established the Civil War Centennial Commission to prepare plans and programs for the nationwide observances of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Civil War, and requested the President to issue proclamations inviting the people of the United States to participate in those observances.

Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite all of the people of our country to take a direct and active part in the Centennial of the Civil War.

I request all units and agencies of government--Federal, State, and local--and their officials to encourage, foster, and participate in Centennial observances. And I especially urge our Nation's schools and colleges, its libraries and museums, its churches and religious bodies, its civic, service, and patriotic organizations, its learned and professional societies, its arts, sciences, and industries, and its informational media, to plan and carry out their own appropriate Centennial observances during the years 1961 to 1965; all to the end of enriching our knowledge and appreciation of this momentous chapter in our Nation's history and of making this memorable period truly a Centennial for all Americans.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this sixth day of December in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-fifth.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

CHRISTIAN A. HERTER, Secretary of State

Oh no actual history!

You may be hopeless. Hit pause on your posting and go catch up.

He doesn't care and won't do anything.

All these guys are compromised by their masters.

Fucking arrest the mayor and all the board members that approved this shit show already.

The one who pulled the one in North Carolina down, is in jail do not know it they made bail, but arrested they were, the laughing and bragging is gone. It was if you will not do it someone has to, so I think the one who put the rope on was the first one or the only one arrested, I think it was a female.

I do too

I do too

Someone is hopeless thinking that veterans of the Confederate States of america are somehow covered under United States law.
