Sir: Re: Moving the cenotaph. Where it stands now would encourage people to shop around the downtown area or stroll Tecumseh Park after the ceremony Nov. 11th.
Wherever it’s placed, there would always be sick people to do bad things to it. Being where it is keeps it on display for all of us, a reminder of the fallen.
Now what to do about cars – why not block that area off, like smart stores do to prevent smash and grab, like red pillars? A few benches for sitting on would be nice and a two-foot high chain around the cenotaph to keep folks out or remind them this is a sacred place.
When the younger people are told about Nov. 11, it wouldn’t hurt to tell them the importance of the cenotaph.
