After WWI many U.S. soldiers moved to the Californian desert to find physical and emotional healing. In 1934, they erected a memorial to honor their fallen comrades, a single white cross, - a symbol used around the world to memorialize those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The site for the memorial was chosen because at a certain time of day, the sun casts a shadow on the rock which resembles a WWI doughboy. For more than 75 years, the memorial has stood as a reminder that there were those who fought and died for our freedoms. But sadly today, the ACLU and a federal judge in California, want to tear it down. In fact, the judge has ordered the memorial covered from view while the case is on appeal. Please join us in saying "donttearmedown." We think Americans should honor their war heroes and the freedoms they so valiantly protect; and we're taking our case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court this fall. Please join us in this battle, go to www.donttearmedown.com.

  • It is not the fact ...

    It is not the fact that this is a cross,the meaning of it all is that a veteran put it there in memory of all of our men and women who fought and are still fighting for our freedom,and constitutional rights..something evidently you would know nothing about..
    You do not deserve to be an AMERICAN!!!

    Do me a favor, laura. you seem like a nice person. Instead of just repeating "AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON CHRISTIANITY" over and over, look into it. See what our founding fathers REALLY thought about religion, and particularly government sanctioned religion.

    You may be shocked at what you find. Either way, it would be good for you to learn the truth of the situation rather than just repeating a line you've heard over and over.

    What's sad is taking religion out of the government and out of schools. This country was founded on religion no matter what all the atheists say and look where taking religion out of schoos has gotten us. A bunch of sorry no account kids that don't give a damn about anything or anyone but themselves and think they can do whatever they want with no consequences. We can agree to disagree after all it's only our opinions!

  • A symbol of ...

    A symbol of Christianity has nothing to do with veterans. Of course this video tries to convince you that the cross is a symbol for veterans. It is only meaningful for Christian veterans.

    As a muslin veteran or a jewish veteran or a wika veteran I can only guess our service to this country is of no value.

    A religious neutral symbol should replace this cross!

    I agree with the court judgment & hope it's appeal is lost!
