JULY 9, 2020


**  Top military officer labels Confederacy as treasonous as Pentagon takes 'hard look' at rebel ties.  (Washington Post)

**  During the Civil War, the enslaved were given  an especially odious job.  The pay went to the owners.  (Washington Post)

**  Army reviewing  'Confederate Memorial' featuring slaves at Arlington National Cemetery.

**  McEachin suggests  name change at Fort Lee.  (Lt. General Arthur J. Gregg.  A black man.  Reading about him, he is deserving, but not to rename any of the bases after any black people as the wounds are too fresh and the hurt too deep right now.  Maybe later.  Right now, name them after other Union generals during the Civil War and change the name later.)

**  Dealing with Confederate imagery on ships.  (Coast Guard under attack for not banning Confederate imagery.  Also, the Coast Guard Cutter Taney, the last surviving warship from Pearl Harbor and now a floating museum in Baltimore will have its name changed to its hull identification, WHEC-37.
