The WWI Veterans Memorial Cross story in the Mohave Desert (short version)
This visit and video was made in 2009:
In 1934, WWI Veterans erected a cross on a hill top out in the middle of nowhere. It was a way of memorializing the deaths of their comrades. This became their place of reunion, solitude and prayer.
However, one man alleges that the cross offended him. He then filed a law suit with the ACLU. Sadly a federal judge ordered this cross to be taken down or concealed until further adjudication. The United States Supreme Court has just agreed to hear the case. In the meantime, the cross is covered with plywood. The cross is appropriate on Government land, because America was founded on Judeo Christian principles.
With no apologies we support our veterans. Moreover, we support the cross. We took a trip to the Mohave desert to see for ourselves. We had church, praise music, and communion. Below is a video of our visit. We there before the U.S. Supreme Courts made their decision. The updates of this legal battle are in the below the comments.

11-16-11: Sadly yesterday the federal ranger cops took the newest replica cross down. If you find another cross put back up, my prints are all over that CRIME scene. Come and get me!
04-25-12: Good news a federal judge has authorized a “land swap” whereas the VFW now owns this land. Praise the Lord for this, and thanks to those that prayed and that acted out in defense of this cross. Sadly too many Christians didn’t even care about it. Makes you wonder if they’re the whosoever believers that Jesus warned about Matthew 7:21-24. Full story here.
