Monuments are a part of our history. We should learn from history, not destroy and erase it.

I'm signing because I am sick & tired of so much of American history being destroyed or removed because certain groups are "offended". Yet the monuments, memorials, statues, etc of almost all other historical events, people, & happenings remain in place & New ones are being erected. Leave history alone!

My family had a bunch of men fight in the civil war. And it’s not right to disrespect them just because someone don’t like the monument they need to get over it.

This is part out history. It have stood there for years and hasn’t ever offended anyone. It symbolizes much more then what it is being hated for. Keep it in its home!

I’m from Montgomery County and believe strongly in our military statues. They honor our fallen and their service and should not be removed.

This is a part of history and it shouldn’t be taken down. All of history is starting to disappear because someone finds it offensive. My thoughts are if we get rid of all our history how will our children know about it?

Ashley Mcintyre (Star, 2020-11-02)

It's part of History of Montgomery County Residents. Shouldn't be removed for any reason.

I think its a huge waste to spend a million (i heard projected, might not be actual, but still a waste that could be better spent elsewhere). Any actions now (especially expensive/wasteful ones) can't erase history. Things can be respectfully resolved and handled other ways.

Cameron Higdon (Troy, 2020-11-03)

The statue should stay! It’s not all about the flag that statue has more meaning to it! It’s our county it’s our choice

This is a reminder to ALL Americans of the ones who fought and died for this nation. Every war was fought to preserve this nation, even the civil war. Although this war was internal, it was a very tough growing pain that showed that some Americans had realized the err of its ways and we needed to correct a wrong that had shouldn't have been allowed in the first place. The civil war needs to be remembered every day in order to make sure that we NEVER make that mistake again.
Men on both sides of the issue sacrificed for what they believed, right or wrong. That is history and that history needs to be preserved and remembered.

Our Historical Monuments are just that, they represent our History not our future, although some deem them racist they’re not. They are there to Honor our Fallen Soldiers who have served and to those who have died serving this Great Nation, there is nothing about our Monument to be ashamed of. To those who want to erase our History shame on you. Please let our Beautiful Monument stand in Honor and Respect of our Fallen and our Heroes

This is a tribute to the many men and women who have died fighting for freedom of AMERICA.
It would be a disgrace to remove this memorial.

Why would you want to remove it? I am serious, what is the point in removing this wonderful statue.

I am signing because I have had enough of far left Democrats taking our freedom inch by inch, I am making a stand, no more!!!

I'm signing because each one that fought in the wars fought for a reason that they truly believed in. It's history. How are we to teach our kids the right and wrong of the past if it isn't there to teach?

it's the right thing to do. because it shows respect and Honner to all of the one's who fought for this country and the land we live on and for our Montgomery county sons especially and the women who where involved has nothing to to with hate and a true patriot would see this understand it.

Our history has to be preserved

I would never have thought that Montgomery County would even consider this. Why ? After all this is over the ones that tried if they won would not give it a second thought a week later. To all those who still believe in The United States of America and still have honor for those fought and our heritage and place in history it's a tremendous loss. All I'm saying is don't let our history just be towed away and forgotten just because everyone else is. Just because a few get offended by something that they never gave a second thought 6 months ago does not give them a right to get their way now. Give into this and it will never end. Stand up for our rights and heritage.

I had a gggrandfather who fought in the war. I had a gguncle who fought in the 14th n.c. regiment. He fell I'll at Gettysburg and was transported to Lexington va. He died there and was buried there in a unmarked grave. The statue is where I can show my respect to both of them.

History plays in an important role of future and should never be removed.
Regardless of good or bad times.
The point is in "Rememberance"
Never to repeat the ugly side of it.
Once crossed the bridge we shall never return.
Our children and grandchildren need to remember ALL that has happened.

Connie Greene (Mount Gilead, 2020-12-07)

This is my heritage and I am proud of it. This monument has stood here this long without anything being said til now..I attended the first community meeting and spoke on behalf of my opinions. Want to really keep this around. I have took my grandbaby, neices, and nephews up there and explained to them what this "symbol" is before anything of this occured in our little town. Men fought and sacrificed their lives for Dixie Land. Thank You

Our Montgomery County Soldiers deserve a monument to their service after being called upon by their state to serve, no matter if it was the CSA or USA who they served, all were American veterans.
