Finally

60 years later, our WWII veterans finally have a memorial. Over a thousand WWII veterans die every day in our country and I'm glad to finally see a monument built to them. The other war memorials are much deserved as well, but none are so deserving as the 16 million men who fought and risked their lives to rid the world of one of the most evil onslaughts ever seen. My father was too young to fight in the second world war but he served as a peacekeeper in Germany starting in 1950 and then he went on to Korea. I was glad when they finally built a memorial for that overlooked "conflict." I can only imagine how proud the families of WWII vets must be now to have their parents and grandparents properly remembered. The only ones who deserve the memorial more than our veterans are the ones who never had the chance to return home from Europe.
