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.

U.S. WWI Memorial

[(Anonymous)]

It is hard to get funding for a memorial or really anything that matters in the U.S.. If they start, it will become political, then any ideads will be called racitst or insensitive. Then the ACLU will sue because NAMBLA was not represented in it or the mere metion of god. The NAACP will say it promotes "whiteness." The Democrates will argue that it will disenfranchise Nazi-american's, and by the time all of these suites are final, the last living vet will have been dead for 25 years, and the lawyers would have made 20 million for a memorial that costs 1 million. That is the new liberal/progressive american way of getting nothing done. What I just described applies to any project in america.
