Sample One - Passover Focus
Dear Editor,
Eight months after Secretary of War Hegseth promised its return, I write to ask why the U.S. Army and Arlington National Cemetery have still not restored the Reconciliation Memorial to its rightfule place in Section 16..
Sculpted by Confederate veteran Moses Ezekiel, the memorial honors post-Civil War reconciliation between North and South. Ezekiel was one of America’s foremost sculptors; he is buried at the base of the very monument he created.
That Ezekiel’s enduring work of national healing remains unrestored feels especially incongruous during this sacred season of reflection and renewal.
The continued absence of this historic memorial dishonors both Ezekiel’s legacy and the diverse contributions of all Americans to our shared history. The Army and Arlington owe the public a clear explanation for the delay and a commitment to restore the Reconciliation Memorial without further postponement.
Sincerely,
