It is wrong for the State of Florida to turn their backs on this fine Latino Heritage. To tell a national memorial that they can no longer be of any assistance in preserving their national past. Pretending history never happened at the same time you keep on commemorating it did makes no logical historical sense. Respectfully, Loren Blalock Discoverer of De Soto's lost trail.<br /><br />PS.
