    Trump administration has been doing something about federal monuments and remember hearing something is/was in the works about monuments in general.
    While it's unclear exactly what type of threats prompted the protection of the cemeteries, at least two were vandalized before extra security was added. A bronze statue of a rebel soldier at Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio, was decapitated and knocked over less than two weeks after the Charlottesville melee. About a week after that, and just hours before the arrival of President Trump in Springfield, Mo., a 117-year-old Confederate memorial at the Springfield National Cemetery was covered in paint.
