Comments on: Washington DC: World War I Memorial http://chowtimes.com/2008/09/03/washington-dc-world-war-i-memorial/ Suanne and Ben's Food and Travel Adventures from Vancouver, BC Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:01:41 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Paul http://chowtimes.com/2008/09/03/washington-dc-world-war-i-memorial/comment-page-1/#comment-21092 Paul Wed, 10 Sep 2008 05:46:27 +0000 http://chowtimes.com/?p=1796#comment-21092 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.

No matter what your readers say, please don't stop on the memorials or whatever you intend to do, they will still be enjoyed by others who don't have the chance to visit and for my family who was in Washington DC in May this year, your wonderful pics gave us good memories and took us to places we missed. Best wishes from K.L.! Dear Ben and Suanne,

For some years past, your tours and great cooking have made my days brighter. No matter what your readers say, please don’t stop on the memorials or whatever you intend to do, they will still be enjoyed by others who don’t have the chance to visit and for my family who was in Washington DC in May this year, your wonderful pics gave us good memories and took us to places we missed.

Best wishes from K.L.!

It's a shame it didn't work out that way. I believe it was also called “The War to End All Wars”. It’s a shame it didn’t work out that way.

To an extent, it is funny it was called that way as there has been so many wars in human's history and any could have been called that way. I have the feeling it has stuck with this one in particular because it was the first time so many countries in different continents were involved and the impact of the aftermath.
