Shortly thereafter Pulley responded to the charges by sending email to those whom we had contacted. It was in his response that we finally learn the sad details of what can only be described as his feeble and doomed restoration plan for Oakwood Military Cemetery. Our July 23 rejoinder to the plan, along with new evidence of the City of Richmond's depredations follows. Sirs, On July 20 I posted a list of charges that had been filed in the SCV Virginia Division against Collin Pulley for his misdeeds relating to Oakwood Military Cemetery. I'll focus here on the facts at the core of the controversy.
Enough people know about the financial situation now to sort that one out separately.
Work should begin very soon. The small grave markers, actually square posts, are too small. The fact is that you cannot pour enough concrete to stop the City tractor ghouls. The chipped and vandalized grave posts look terrible now and are more a monument to a generation of neglect than to the generation of sacrifice they are supposed to salute. If you doubt what I tell you, please go to the Oakwood Military Cemetery web site and view some of the damage .
