Query re "Memorial" at Cape Henry

edit

"Cape Henry Cross" was dedicated by the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists on April 26, 1935, proclaimed "Cape Henry Day' by the Mayor. As the dedication plaque clearly states, the cross was dedicated to commemorate the first landing of English settlers on the anniversary date of the landing, not to memorialize anything, including the planting of the first cross on April 29, 1607.

A request has -as of today- been made of the NPS and its historian Dr. Robert Selig to justify its use of the term "Memorial" for any reason other than because the cross was relocated into its Memorial Park in 1981. As both the Colonial National Park Superintendent and the cited historian are friends of mine, I expect a speedy reply. (I'll hope the name will change with a reversion to its original name and, along with it, all errors which are a result of it. 70.174.24.187 (talk) 02:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC) I am now logged in, so I have returned to sign this, my post.
