Comments on: Apparently, the board of the Brandy Station Foundation doesn’t believe in the First Amendment or freedom of speech…. https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3122 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: John Guss https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3122&cpage=1#comment-55360 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:29:35 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3122#comment-55360 Greetings,

Why has Brandy Station Battlefield never become a state or national battlefield park with its significant history? If a formal organization were in place these types of upheavals might be avoided or at least minimized.

It is also disappointing that there was no coordinated effort to host a large scale cavalry reenactment for the 150th Anniversary that could have drawn more interest, support, and possibly additional revenue to support the ongoing preservation efforts. Just my personal thoughts.

I would be interested to hear of any latest successes in the preservation efforts in addition to the recent CWT land purchasing efforts.

BTW, Could someone create a FACEBOOK page for Brandy Station Foundation to keep us all better informed and to post visitor photos and experiences?

All the best in resolving the differences and doing what is right for the preservation and historical interpretation of this hallowed ground.

I only recently became aware of your involvement in the preservation of the battlefield, and I wanted to thank you, both for writing, but more importantly, for your time and efforts in trying to preserve the heritage of the Brandy Station battlefield.

If only the present board cared as much about the battlefield as you and your husband do, we would not have the problems we presently face with the BSF.

Eric

My husband and I were some of the locals that participated in the founding of this organization after my husband noticed a “farm road” being cut through the property by then owner Lee Sammis. The behavior of the current BOD dishonors so many fine people that worked very hard to achieve recognition of this battlefield.

Something is badly wrong and going in the wrong direction. Has JEB Stuart IV weighed in on this issue? Where is CWT, which has ‘helped’ purchase so much of this hallowed ground?
Continue to “fight the good fight”.

If true, the by-laws reference is an “interesting” citation as the basis to reject your application, to say the least. .Maybe this would be a good opportunity for these jokers to actually read the 2009 report.

Keep up the pressure. I wonder if their membership list is available for sale. It would be interesting to see just how many members disagree with the board but are keeping their mouths shut.
