Two German WWII tombstones at a Texas veterans cemetery — each bearing Nazi swastikas — have been removed and replaced with new ones that do not use the symbol.
The 1943 gravestones belonging to German prisoners of war Alfred Kafka and Georg Forst at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery featured an Iron Cross with a swastika in the middle, and the phrase, “He died far from his home for the Leader (Führer), people and fatherland.”
Cemetary workers removed the stones on Wednesday.
“Clearly, it took a long time for this to happen, and it’s obviously the right thing to have been done,” said Michael Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
The foundation previously demanded Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie remove the tombstones, but the agency refused and argued they had a historical meaning.
why not just spend the money to dig him up and send his remains back to his homeland? obviously his remains aren`t wanted here and are being disrespected here so why not send him back to his family and country where he will be respected as a fallen soldier? have we become so uncivilized and barbaric that we hold the remains of dead enemy soldiers hostage to be disrespected and shit on instead of sending them home? is that the new america?
Not my new america!!! These tactics are the same used by the NAZIs they claim to hate
Democrats needed them for the Biden Tally !!!!
