Dear Chairman Martecchini,
The General salutes your decision to destroy the memorial to the fallen soldiers of the Iraqi war. It is unconscionable to place such a tribute to America's sons and daughters on Duxbury town property where regular citizens might see it and be tricked into committing a thoughtcrime.
But why should we stop at this one memorial. Certainly, the town's Vietnam Memorial stirs the same political passions. When people see it, don't they say, "We shouldn't have fought that war." Isn't it time we took a sledgehammer to it?
And what about Cornelius Delano? If historians are correct, as much as a third of the people of Duxbury were tories, the conservatives of their day. Don't you think their ancestors are a little put out by the political statement that is made by the memorial headstone honoring his service in the Revolutionary War? I say we dig Cornelius up and move him outside of the town limits. Are you with me?
Heterosexually yours,
General JC Christian, patriot
A tip of the helmet to Kevin at TAS for alerting the General to the Duxbury selectmen's vigilence.
