U.S. WWI memorial (or rather, lack there of)

[rm]

The U.S. has no national memorial to its soldiers who died in WWI. The last surviving U.S. veteran of that war is trying to do something about it. He's 107.

Everywhere I go in Europe, I trip over WWI memorials. I'm surprised we don't have one ourselves!

We have a WWI memorial

We have a national WWI memorial. It is in Kansas City. It is called the liberty memorial and has included the National WWI Museum. It was dedicated in the 1920's by many of the U.S. military leaders and leaders of our allies. Check it out. www.libertymemorialmuseum.org

Hrrrr. I guess we just don't have one in DC then? I can't decide if this is bad me for skimming the CNN article or bad CNN for not being precise.
