Someone is offended by a battlefield cross?
The only people that could possibly be offended by this are liberal idiot pisswits. The citizens of Milford need to vote these scumbags out of office. Tar and feathers would work for me.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

I completely agree that the City Council are Swine. but that plaque is, let's face it, gibberish. It reads like someone had it explained to them, then two or three days later wrote down their partial memories. What is "lost in the battlefield", a navigational error? The practice of leaving a bayoneted rifle stuck in the ground, with or without headgear, to identify the location of a wounded (or dead) soldier for the medics (or graves registration) is at least as old as the US Civil War. It's done because the unit has to move on right sharply to y'know, fight the damned war. They certainly didn't wrestle the guy's boots off and have a little ceremony while the shooting was still going on. I've been in remembrance ceremonies where the boots, rifle, and helmet were used, sometimes placed where the fallen would have been within the ranks, sometimes centered in front of the formation. I personally never heard the term "battle cross" used for this set up at the time. I don't object to it, but I never heard it. Again, the City Council are Class A Jerks but that plaque needs a serious rewrite. Wafa Wafa Wasara Wasara.
