Awful attrition, and more to the point, execrable military leadership.
Wish we had known when we moved west from FL since we drove right through KC. Ooops. LOL!
No, the DC WWI is not far from the Reflecting Pool and is much older. Verifying other reply.
No, see other posts.
Shows how pathetically maintained and marketed it is that no one knows and even doubts its presence.
You won’t get argument from me.
But then, I think it is sad that since WWII at least, the war has been forgotten. It really is a great history lesson to learn about this “underrated” war. And the horror it wrought from the “reason” it happened in the first place, to the tactics of it, and the consequences.
Stupid, horrible war, and men deserve great praise for going into this war we should not have engaged.
It is a shame that it is not more well known, or visited. But it is not a national memorial, but it does stand as a statement that most of the local memorials, even the one on the National Mall are largely forgotten and ignored.
