It is there to honor the men of SC who fought and died defending her. The compromise has settled the issue. Get over it. With a mindset like this, it wouldn't be a surprise if into the future, other groups offended by WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War right up to Iraq and Afghanistan War memorials wnat them removed.......think about it.
