ClayByGumminesWV: Courthouse Trees

In this era of "global warming", I thought the "green" thing to do was to plant trees not to cut them down!

If you see Joe Lanham let him know I can make the evergreens forever brown and do it for free.

That memorial needs to leave more space for the living. The collection of monoliths is not attractive.

hmmmmmmmm Now what is a monolith?Living? Is that that bunch of dopeheads that hang out on that side of the street day in and out except when apple fest time comes around.
Somebody needs to tell Joe Lanham to have a Viet Nam flashback when he runs into Andy Waddell again. I would like to be around when that took place.

I wonder if anybody's polled any actual living veterans to see what their opinions might be?

While a memorial is a wonderful idea, that particular layout is horrifically ugly. It's got no character, it's not attractive at all ... in fact, it looks an awful lot like a cemetary.

Surely to goodness that's not the best we've got to offer our fallen vets??

I agree, the proposed memorial looks bad...am very sure there is enough sadness that our Vets and their families have had to endure...why not a park??? Or a garden that shows some beauty we all hold near and dear and are willing to die for???

Why not have maybe 2 new monuments on each side and a remembrance bench like at Montgomery that is very attractive.

I feel sure the big wigs will not let the general public have a say in any memorial that goes there.

Well, ya know, there's a reason the county commission meets at 10 a.m. when those of us who actually pay their salaries are *working*.

Which is proven over & over, when nobody shows up for their meetings.

As a vereran I can say looks is not what the memorial is about to begin with. As opposed to what is shown a nice wall with the names of all Clay County Veterans on it would be nice to have. As far as a park..... We live in a park in Clay County and we have that fine big Park over at Maysel that has cost enough money already to have built the most of the people here a nice warm home to live in. I was out there once.... Who the H*** stuck it out there one of the buddys? No road worth a spit going to it, visited by a few, most don't know where it is or would go out there to it. Parks are out if you want a place to sit the courthouse has some benches. Town of Clay is not safe to sit in with the druggies wandering the streets or lounging in front of the old courthouse. Have you ever took a look at that bunch of creeps sitting over there when you're in town?
Any memorial to veterans would be a welcome site for all those who served this country and county but stick it somewhere to hide it is pitiful.

I think a wall with some benches in front of it would be good. the topography there would make it easy to do, and would leave more space for people.
The current proposal looks like a cemetery.
The sad thing is- regarless of where the monument is placed, or what it looks like, it will be most used by the same punks, crackheads and derelicts that are polluting the area now.

Lets make it a real war monument and put some land mines on it and string some barbed wire around it.

I agree put the thing at VFW hall they can do what they want down there. As for some of us vets we don't like the looks of that thing or of cutting down the evergreens for any kind of Stone

If they are going to put up a memorial, I would love to see the names of EVERYONE from Clay that served in the wars. Not just the names of the ones that died in the war. As for the trees, I do not see any reason they should be cut down. The trees are beautiful. They need to stay. The memorial can be put there and save the trees.

Why don't some of you spineless worms craw off somewhere and stay hid. If not for our Veterans there would be no memorials,no old courthouse and probably not even a Clayberry Blog. You gripe about everything that there is to gripe about. Where were you when the wars were fought?
Just like always you were to spineless to serve this country or this county except for the spineless lip service of how things should be. The memorial is going to be put right out in front of the old courthouse and if you don't want it there get used to turning your head just like you turned your A$$ when the country needed you.

well now Anon 3:11pm, wasn't that just the sweetest, most dignified and respectable of comments. :-/

Bet our Honored Veterans are just sooo PROUD that you chose to be their spokesperson.(In case you missed it, that was not a 'gripe' just a statement.)

As for the memorial. MY opinion is that it should show our love and respect for our veterans in a graceful and Honored way. To me that would be in a peaceful, lovely park setting that you could quietly reflect on all the sacrifices our veterans have made for us. A park setting with trees and greenery would reflect that.
A park just across from the courthouse would also be a nice gathering spot at Apple Festivle time for our Honored older generation to gather and listen to the music without having the music blow out their hearing.
And maybe, if the county leaders would try creating a respectful and classy place (example: park setting) then the citizens of this county will start showing some pride in our county instead of tearing it down.

I do appreciate the Veterans. No doubt about that. Not everyone was called to serve their country. Some people were not even alive then to serve. You can look at it this way:
1) Most Veterans are respectable people. They did what they had to do to protect this country. Who protects and charishes his family.
Then you have Veteran #2:
2) There are alot of Veterans around Clay that can show the bad side humanity. Take for instance the Veteran who molested his granddaughter, drinks everyday of his life, a man who mental and physically abuses wife. Which Vet would YOU want to honor with a memorial?

LOL Who'da thunk a coupla trees would cause so much controversy?

I wonder, Anon who thinks we're all spineless worms, what *you* have done for our country? Personally, I belong to the generation that, even if we served, didn't see much "war" time. I think that's something to be proud of, not b*tch about.

Vets are just like every other clumped together group of people - they're not all saints. You don't condemn them all based on a select few.

Regardless, the memorial as proposed is still ugly. Being ugly doesn't detract from the sentiment, though.

Not only will David run against Peter Triplett but willwin the election hands down because noone votes but school officials, employees, bus drivers and cooks and will be told to vote that way or get another job. As for me and my house we will vote David Pierson CCC as noone tells him how or what to do and AW can't lead him around by the nose. Jimmy Duffield can run again Fran next time around and win.

Better take down those trees. Because some one else may sue the town, for pine cones..All the drugies due hang under the trees.. Also likes hiding and taking a pee once in a while..
Just like a couple weeks ago saw the town drunk hobo. Urinenating on the building on lower end of town in day light.Evey body had a birds of view of that.. Need those big trees on that end.
Go ahead and take them down, eye sore any way.. Plus it destroys the foundation to the wall and street.
