Wonderful news. We should always preserve our history, my friends

I'll note that no, it wasn't you that wrote the article. The article while very poorly written in the end states that they are considering it, not that they are going to do it.

That noted, people must really miss the Confederacy there.

Good. Erasing history is never beneficial.

Great news! That's the county next to me. I still own 50 acres in Shenandoah County at my dad's home-place.

History isn't there for any one of us to change, but it is there for every one of us to learn from.
