Zitat
This particular form of monument dates back to the Civil War, as a means of identifying the bodies on the battleground before they would be relocated to cemeteries. The boots, rifle, helmet, and dog tags were personal items from the soldier buried beneath them, and served as a reminder of who he was.

Today, the Battlefield Cross is a means of showing respect for the dead among the members of the troop still living. It serves less as a means of identification and more as a method of paying tribute to those who gave their last full measure of devotion on the battlefield

"There's quite a history and it has a real meaning," Boyer added.

�The Battlefield Cross is the truest representation of a fallen hero with his boots, inverted rifle, helmet and Dog Tags," Congressman Renacci, who is running for governor in Ohio's 2018 election, told PJ Media. "War is not butterflies and rainbows, and it needs to be presented as a tribute to their sacrifice in the way in which the Veterans see fit.�
