I guess only Big money matters. How many Veterans live or lived in Wisconsin? It must be that our Gov. has no Veterans in his ancestry. I guess we can see where he places human concerns.

The terrible truth is we as veterans fought for these people  and are brothers and sisters who are buried their deserve their place of peace. It is are duty now to fight for them against those who want to move their graves so they can leave the city faster I say no way . I say lets fine their family graves and dig them up and see how they feel about that.

The more lanes to Waukesha, the more the flight to the suburbs and the poorer Milwaukee becomes.  Let them move back this way if the commute is too much for them.  They don't want mass transit, as it allows people that they are afraid of to come to their place.

I may only be one Veteran however my thought is simple on this disturbing issue. These fallen brothers and sisters have gave there all seriously and it seems to me that many officials can't see that. If one of these sights be there Mother, would they without fight allow there beloved mother be dug up and just moved to where ever suited by anothers idea where she is simply out of the way? I think not ! I would like these politicians asked, do they know or understand the 7 posts the Bivoucs of the fallen? Which stand guard of the fallen! Standing as a security detail of Wood cemetery. If a reader does not track what passing, as you walk through you will come across piles of stone the front on a angle with a bronze plate inscribed as words during the civil war era, the side of the fallen flat straight forming a fighting position. These are the Bivoucs of the fallen. Remember your 1st general order, I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. If that's not enough have a politician read the Cavalry poem "Fiddlers Green". In closing I cannot believe that my fellow fallen veteran grave sightsmay be disturbed so to ease traffic, I am stunned that this is even a idea, to start a cemetery elsewhere is one thing to even think of relocating one is absurd. Try to move a Indian burial ground.
Sincerely a concerned Vet.
