Dear Veterans and Veteran Advocates,
Please take a few minutes to view the following Web Page. In the spirit of our
GAR-UCV veterans and others who dedicated their battlefield and National Park many years ago, our Northern friends from MA and RI, etc., are trying hard to honor our past veterans accomplishments "at Petersburg." Progress is what our CW veteran historians made when our National Park was dedicated -- "To be "preserved unimpaired for future generations." Should so called progress today continue to destroy their efforts?
The following updated Web Sites contain information which will help provide the public a graphic awareness to help preclude such things happening again and to enlist support for real progress today. -- as follows:

The City of Petersburg's recommendations to the National Park Service have been with the NPS for 4 1/2 years now. This plan is supported by our city leadership, it's citizens, and significant endorsements. After what we have been through, I believe all the outside support Petersburg has received from all over the country and beyond to be very valuable. Your view and input is very valuable also, and will make a difference!
We can change the picture.
Please feel free to email me should you have any questions or want any detail.
This General Management Planning by the National Park Service is important for all of us. Please, contact your representatives in the spirit of our ancestor's struggles and accomplishments, and please send this message to all those you feel are interested and can help preserve it for the future. Heck, send it to everyone you can!
Devotion to Duty, Loyalty to Country, Honor
As we are moved by the stories of great determination, physical strength, and courage under fire, let us use these lessons to build strength of character for future generations and today.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
