Confederate memorial to be removed in coming days from Arlington National Cemetery

A Confederate memorial is to be removed from Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia in the coming days, part of the push to remove symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities, a cemetery official said Saturday.
The decision ignores a recent demand from more than 40 Republican congressmen that the Pentagon suspend efforts to dismantle and remove the monument from Arlington cemetery.

Friends ran for ten years. The CSA existed for four years. Technically Chandler is a bigger part of US history.
I like telling those "my heritage" people that the Obama administration lasted three more years than the Confederacy, making Obama a far greater part of their heritage.
