This tells us nothing about the start of the tunnel melee. Notice how there are already people inside the window on the left?
I hadn't heard about this one at the "National Cathedral", but I think it should be shared....
I saw it last week when exploring DC. Pictures do not do it justice. The poetry with it is wonderful, too:

Good publicity for the author's book. Whether Seidule likes it or not, the president and Congress follow a Constitution process for passing laws. That process was followed to the letter. This Constitutional process is the will of the people. Seidule will once again have an opportunity to vote for president in 3 and 1/2 years, and perhaps this time a candidate who shares his views will win.
Yes, and then the monument was removed as required by the law passed in 2021. (It also followed the Constitutional process to the letter)
Armed Forces Press has put out a statement in regard to the reconciliation monument:
Funny how the existence of the statue at the time did nothing to calm or pacify anyone.Armed Forces Press has put out a statement in regard to the reconciliation monument:
"The sculpture, first erected a century ago, was initially swept up in the moral fervor of the early 2020s — but mistakenly so, because the story it tells is exactly the kind of story Americans needed to hear in those angry years."

The statue was taken apart and crated by Lloyd Austin in 2023.armedforces.press
This has nothing to do with the fact that the monument was removed by a law passed by constitutional method. A moment ago you were talking about how important that was.
It was removed under the auspices of the law. The President has the power under our Constitution, or those he delegates the power to, to rename any monument he wishes within the law. A lawsuit can be filed if evidence can be found that the Secretary of Defense is not following the law.
Under what auspices is it being returned? It took an act of Congress in 1914 to put it there in the first place, as people have pointed out.
From the article you quoted: "When the commission members visited the Confederate monument in 2022, we were shocked by its overt racist imagery and anti U.S. sentiments. We voted unanimously to recommend removal."
It existed for 111 years, but that doesn't mean that they ever saw it, until they did. Then, when they did, they were shocked at how racist it is. It is telling that Hegseth has to rename it as the old name is forbidden.
