Walmart is trying to build a Super Center at the edge of the historic battlefield of The Battle of the Wilderness. According the the National Park Service over 11,000 Americans lost their lives on the site. It makes me sad to think so little reverence is being paid to such a significant place. The county of Orange has some POOR planning since they zoned the area directly outside of the park as commercial. The Civil War Preservation Trust is doing its best to try to protect the land.

We should take Reuben there before the battlefield is spoilt.
