Arlington National Cemetery To Relocate Confederate Monument

"Arlington National Cemetery announces the relocation of a controversial Confederate monument despite GOP opposition. The monument, featuring a Confederate soldier and a slave woman, will be moved to New Market Battlefield State. The decision aligns with the Defense Department's mission to remove Confederate iconography from military installations. The monument, unveiled in 1914, reflects a mythologized vision of the Confederacy, and its removal marks a significant step in complying with the law to eliminate such assets."
