    1. [WIPierce] National Cemetery Protection Act
    2. Hello list: The following was sent to me by another CC in Wisconsin. I have signed and encourage all on this list to take a look at it to see if they might consider signing as well. Debbie Barrett <Hi Fellow Researchers, I have just read and signed this online petition: "National Cemetery Protection Act" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Several years ago I was witnessed two headstones that had been removed from their base by vandals. This was at a local cemetery, what I witnessed really got to me as the caretaker of the cemetery proceeded to back his truck up and toss both stones into the back of the truck, breaking one of them. When I got a bit upset and asked why in the world he did that, why didn't he simply find the grave and place them back, I was told that the graves were old, the families don't care anymore and he simply didn't have the time. This kind of stuff we need to put a stop too. Major legislation is necessary NOW!!! If you have a minute, please take a look at the petition, Thanks for your time and have a wonderful holiday weekend, Debie>
