Good for him. To even think about putting a walmart near that location is sacriligeous! There needs to be a line between business and common sense and if Walmart doesn’t have the common sense to know this is not right...then Duvall and others will have it for them. We were successful in keeping a Walmart out of one particular area that we didn’t want. They had two options and chose the WRONG ONE. There was always someone out there with a petition to sign and the people gathered together and stood tall in their convictions. So, the little guy CAN defeat a big guy as long as they stand together. Walmart has other options I am sure and for them to even consider this is beyond words. Go Robert Duvall. Make it happen somewhere else!!! All battlefields should be respected and preserved. Too many died on both sides in that senseless war and so they should be fought for whenever anyone like Walmart comes in to do their thing. Capitalism is one thing but this is GREED in my opinion!!
So just how close to a battlefield is too close for people to do what they want without your approval? 1 mile? 20 miles? 50 miles?
