Since I live in Virginia there are a abundence of Civil War related areas in the state from cemetaries, homes, and battlefields. Could I use a monument from a Civil war battle as a National Monument? or is that stretching it a little too far?

Those wouldn't generally qualify for the title of a national monument. But... post your stang with one of them. It would probably get the valid from most people. A National Monument would be like the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial - something like that.

You'd get my vote.I used to live in Va,in a town called New Hope or Grottos.
I have a cannon ball i found in my yard,the house was once a 1 room school house during the Peidmont Battle.I guess that could be a monument...

OK, there's a Monument for the Battle of Great Bridge in town. How about Kitty Hawk? Where the Wright Brothers took flight. Or one for Martin Luther King Jr?

Actually for this one I looked up National Monuments online, and there aren't too many "official" ones throughout the country... Luckily Mount St Helens is considered a National Historical Monument!!
