Summary of Article (explain in depth what the article is about). This should be 7-10 sentences
about what is going on in the article and any bias the article may have.

The court had found that some of the town residents sued the town and they didn’t have
a legal standing and were also unable to establish their proprietary or contractual
interest in that monument. They were having trouble with finding who has the ownership
of the monument. The monument has been there since 1914. They took the monument
down for the early generation of women that were their parents and grandparents. It
wanted to lift the spectors version of defeats and they wanted to instead poetry them as
heroes. They didn’t want their names to be sullied or known as called traitors

Do you agree with what is happening in this article and why?

Yes I agree but at the same time I don’t because they don’t have to look at it they could have
relocated the monument so those people are less likely to see it but also it's also for their mental
health. Like they shouldn’t be seen as traitors or even be viewed as defeat.
