National Monument question?

[YsOffcr]

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?

Sounds good to me.

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!!
