Well, considering that the graves of many of my relatives were destroyed, and the stones used for roadbed... I don't know that I particularly feel one way or another. Does it matter if it was the Russians, the Poles or a Vermonter? Gone is gone. If you are religious, it is dust to dust and victory, if not, then we're all here by chance mixing and reaction anyway.
So, not to venture into RSP, but that's how I see it. Time moves on, life moves on, move with it or be left behind.
And yes, the graves of my great grandmother, great uncle and grandfather, all of whom I knew and were very close with, are good to visit, but unfortunately I do not see the connection, since they are in a better place and going to their graves will not make me less sad or more connected to them. I cannot imagine wanting their graves near my home, regardless, let alone someone else's graves near my home.
To me, the bigger injustice and sadness is that given all the available homes about, let alone decreipt buildings in inner cities and even towns and out of town areas, that something else couldnt be used as a domecile, rather than destroying otherwise beautiful and open farmland. People should be more up in arms about the sad state of many areas, cities, and towns, and at the people who let these places get that way (let alone the destruction of open space), than at some guy that wants to put a new home in a stupid place where there is really no good reason (IMO) to put it.
Maybe Im just coled and careless...
