MARGRATEN, Netherlands — Ever since a U.S. military cemetery in the southern Netherlands removed two displays recognizing Black troops who helped to liberate Europe from the Nazis, visitors have filled the guestbook with objections.

Some time in the spring, the American Battle Monuments Commission, the U.S. government agency responsible for maintaining memorial sites outside the United States, removed the panels from the visitors center at the American Cemetery in Margraten, the final resting place for roughly 8,300 U.S. soldiers, set in rolling hills near the border with Belgium and Germany.


The move came after President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said in an address to Congress in March.

African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Hispanic-Americans died defending our Democracy. Denying that history, will never, ever change that history. Just as Niece of the 442nd. Regimental Combat Team, one most decorated units in WWII.

Its MSDNC. Take it with a grain of salt.

There is one positive to this, and that is it is becoming increasingly difficult for the MAGA cult to deny that there is something seriously wrong with Trump.

At a minimum, we get to watch them turn into acrobatic contortionists in his defense.

How much you want to be this was a temporary display?

When was it put up?

Did anything replace it?

Of course they won't ask these questions, because they want their headline.

If it was a memorial display, why the hell would they need a replacement.

 

[martybegan]

If it was a memorial display, why the hell would they need a replacement.

Because of the thousands of soldiers buried there, maybe they rotate who they highlight?

Again, No details on the history of the display in question.

Has nothing to do with diversity. They earned, leave it alone.

The white and hispanic soldiers did not earn it?

The white and hispanic soldiers did not earn it?

Did I say that?

 

[Zincwarrior]

That seems pretty uncool.

How the hell did you infer he meant otherwise?

Then why post MSDNC? Are you getting paid by them?

So explain why the US should honor black troops specifically? Was the fact that they were black a contributing factor to what they did? In other words, did the amount of melanin in their skin enable them to accomplish their mission when a lack of melanin would have led them fail? Why wouldn't the memorial honor all the troops regardless of their skin color? Should there be a panel honoring all the brown eyed troops and the blue ones, and the dark haired, red heads, blondes, balding troops? Dividing people into subsections based on immutable characteristics is what leads to the problem of racism, it doesn't solve it.

Old debunked news, the panels were part of a moving monument and are now at another location
But whatever you all can do to deflect from the Epstein files

 

[Zincwarrior]

Reading the article it says the panels were replaced by panels of a white soldier.
It also said that the panel about Pruitt was “rotated” out. The replacement panel features Leslie Loveland, a white soldier killed in Germany in 1945, who is buried at Margraten.
