Members of the Warren Historical Society and the Village Commission
ripped a grave stone off of a grave of an Unknown Soldier and they
ripped out a Soldiers Memorial listing Warren men who died and were
buried at Warren Union Cemetery.
These people have not come up with any satisfactory reason for their
disrespectful action. They do not own the cemetery. One cannot
disrespect our soldiers any more then remove their memorials from the
cemetery. This was the only stone that listed these men who gave their
lives. It appears that this stone was donated by a veterans family who
wished to remain anonymous.
These vigilantes also ripped out a memorial to all veterans and those
who died on attacks on our country. And they also stole a stone that
honored the flag that these men died for and what it stood for it said
“Our flag stands for Liberty, Justice Free Speech – Press, Maintain
our Freedoms...” These stones were causing no harm. They posed no
threat. There is nothing disrespectful or wrong about these stones.
These stones were given to the families of these men, without cost to
the city, honoring these men. Those stones belong to the families of
these men who died. It is wrong to steal these memorials from the
cemetery and trash them or sell them.
The disrespect to men who gave their lives must not go unanswered. We
are calling on every veteran and patriotic American to contact us so
we can organize to have these stones replaced in the cemetery where
they belong. If you care about us veterans and the men and women who
died for your freedom send an email to wec...@macombhistory.us
If you choose you may also write a letter to our public officials.

Be prepared to hear all kinds of excuses none of which justify ripping
memorials out of a cemetery. They will say “the placers did not ask
our permission. We did not approve them”. So what, they do not own the
cemetery. The stones were donated without cost to the cemetery not to
them. They have no right to steal them. Just tell them “Put the stones
back”
