Jordan Sekulow, Exec Director of American Center for Law & Justice Visits the Circa 1923 WW I Memorial in Maryland (FOX News) Stephen Lowe of The American Humanist Association claims this 40 foot tall 91 year old Bladensburg Peace Cross War Memorial dedicated on 13 July, 1923 by the American Legion to commemorate the 49 men of Prince George’s County that died in WW I is so upsetting whenever he passes it for it somehow represents the state endorsement of Christianity.
Riiight…
The WW I memorial was initially erected on private property according to The Washington Post but as traffic intensified in the area, the State of Maryland which owns the nearby public roads, encircled the monument, redesigned the intersection and the WW I Memorial was transferred to the park and planning commission in 1960
