text: Here's one little stand against bigotry, hate:
  Whoever now owns the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Cemetery in Snohomish (the County or local American Legion Post?), please remove the large monument statue with the Confederate battle flag.  Apparently it was placed there by the Sons (or) Daughters of the Confederacy.
  This is the same cemetery where William P. Stewart is buried.  See Julie Muhlstein's August 16th article in the Herald.  Hans Dunshee was able to get the state Legislature to rename Hwy.  99  in honor of William P. Stewart, a member of the Union Army who fought against the Confederacy in the American Civil War.
  Ironically, the Grand Army of the Republic organization was formed after the Civil War by Union Army veteran's who fought to end slavery and save the United States.
