I believe we need to hang onto our history. All of it. Good or bad.

I grew up in Walton County - my family has lived there since the 1800’s - I believe in the best way to not repeat the sins of the past is to learn from them, not to destroy the past.

I do not believe that the views of a few should encroach on the beliefs of the many that believe these monuments have great historical significance.

These monuments represent men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. A country who forgets the citizens who fought for them will repeat their mistakes.

Removing these statues do not change the past! Removing them will not change the future! The only thing that can change the future is the people here now. LEAVE THEM! These are reminders that we all came from somewhere and that change CAN AND WILL HAPPEN! History does not go away because you remove the items that were put in place to be a monument of time! STATUES FREEZE A MOMENT, THEY DO NOT CHANGE THE FUTURE JUST BECAUSE YOU REMOVE THEM!
