What would I like to see included in Fort Monroe National Monument? Like many thousands of other people, I’d like to see us include the land that’s missing -- the land known as the “Wherry Quarter.” At http://www.fortmonroenationalpark.org/ , you can see a National Park Service map with red marking added to show the missing land. That waterfront land has prime historical significance -- and the Peninsula’s best beaches! But it also has enormous attractions for developers. The way it stands now, it represents what could be the biggest land grab in Virginia history.The way it stands now, leaving it out just gives us a phony national monument. So I hope people will join me in insisting that the missing land must be locked up forever in a REAL national monument/park for you and your children and grandchildren -- and for all generations to come. It belongs to YOU. It belongs to ALL America. Take it back and lock it up! Thanks. Tom Gear
