Just added 22 more neglected Texas Centennial markers to my Neglected Cemeteries site. These are just the ones I have found so far, no telling how many more are out there. The ones in Washington are NOT an isolated case. These markers have been shot at, knocked over, and had the bronze emblems stolen by vandals. The maintenance crews have damaged them with mowers, or ignored them altogether and allowed the site to be overgrown.

Now I'm headed to google and flickr to see how many more I can find. If any of you have photos of neglect, please send them to me. I have added the name of the town they are in or near.

I have added an album called Loved markers, so you can see what can be done to regain the respect these Texas Heroes deserve.
