“We recognize our history; we don’t erase it. We don’t follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues. We look at and learn from our history, all aspects of it, and so Arlington deserves to have, and we’re grateful to the state of Virginia for partnering with us, it wasn’t easy, we fought to make it happen, and the Reconciliation Monument will return to Arlington, where it belongs, to recognize the service of Americans of all chapters. We’re not tearing stuff down; we’re done with that. We’re putting statues back, we’re putting paintings back, we’re recognizing our history, we’re restoring the names of bases, as we’ve done across the country, because we’re proud of our history, as difficult as it may have been in some chapters. We’re gonna teach it, we’re gonna live it, and we’re gonna fight for it.”
– Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Amen to that. Let’s hope that the Arlington monument and the Albert Pike statue are not the last statues to make a comeback, but rather just the beginning of a dramatic reversal.
