Liberty Counsel stands in support of U.S. House Resolution 1378, which condemns the theft of the Mojave Desert Cross Memorial. The House is discussing the Resolution today and is scheduled to vote on it tomorrow. First erected in 1934, the memorial was simply a cross placed in the Mojave Desert to honor the fallen warriors of World War I, and in 2002 it was declared to be a National Memorial. This memorial had the unique distinction of being the only memorial of its kind dedicated to the fallen soldiers of World War I. On April 28, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its decision protecting the memorial, but on May 9, 2010, the cross was ripped from its foundation and stolen.
This cross was erected to honor WWI veterans and the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers and their families. It is revealing and tragic when vandals finish the work started by the ACLU. Hopefully the U.S. House Resolution will breathe new life back into this case and be the catalyst to restore the memorial cross.
