gordohk 1 Posted February 2, 2010 well the DC Memorial is really nice but does not some maintenance and general landscaping. Not really overrun with tourist, somewhat sheltered and oof the beaten path. I haven't been down there for a couple of years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted February 2, 2010 well the DC Memorial is really nice but does not some maintenance and general landscaping. Not really overrun with tourist, somewhat sheltered and oof the beaten path. I haven't been down there for a couple of years And apparently it only has the names of the Doughboys from DC instead of from all over America. He is right to point out it's past time to create something befitting the sacrifice of all the boys who fought and died. If they don't, WWI may soon share the moniker of a certain war in Korea. "The Forgotten War". Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
