For those of you who've been following the Mojave Cross story, a WWI memorial errected back in 1934 and the center piece of stupidness in America, I'm happy to report that the National Parks Service will be paying to have it sectioned off, have signs put in place to indicate it as private property and establish a plaque to identify it as an official war memorial.
