I have received notification of the sale of grave markers on Ebay from many people and I have a suggestion. Before we flood Ebay and everybody else with our ill will, let me remind you all from a law enforcement point of view, I am a police officer, that most of these grave markers were provided by the government to the deceased family and as the families could afford better headstones, many of the small metal markers were removed, and I imagine, stored in an attic, to later be sold in estate auctions, etc. Also, if a soldier was entombed in a mausoleum, or cremated, the markers were given to the family since they were never even used . Also many time as families became financially more secure, they replaced tombstones with better and more expensive markers. We definitely don't need to jump the gun and accuse people of stealing grave markers or being in possession of stolen property unless we can prove it. That in itself could very well land some of you in civil court with hefty attorney fees. The sale of these grave markers has never bothered me as much as authenticated relics that are advertised as coming from particular battlefields. This is done all the time and all those battlefields are National Memorials and how did they get anything from there? Please be very careful in accusing people of robbing graves and stealing markers. If these markers were obtained legitimately, they have every right to profit from them, no matter how morally wrong it may be. Please remind everyone on your list of these thoughts before they act in haste.
