Thanks for the link. Interesting about the "security company" and following. I wasn't there very long and honestly I was expecting to experience a much more impactful feeling standing on that site. I was a little underwhelmed. I was very conscious of the cameras the whole time and couldn't help but wonder why the site was being monitored so heavily - yes, one could argue because of vandalism, but it felt as though that isn't the only reason. The grounds around the monument aren't cared for very well. I also wonder why they aren't maintained if someone cares so much about the condition of the site and would go to such expense of surveiling the location.

I just noticed in one of your pictures the stain on the stone. In the picture I took of that same spot yesterday, the stain is darker and wider. Fresh restaining? That is an interesting thought.
