The Veterans Affairs Department estimates World War II vets are dying at a rate of 1,056 a day. The dedication of a memorial decades after its war is not lost on them.

Originally posted by midnight Target One thing that really seems weird. The war on terror will probably help people forget about the loss of the "open Mall". The huge expanse of grass that used to stretch from the Capitol to the Lincoln memorial is going to be a thing of the past anyway. They are now constructing a moat or something around the Washington monument. It used to stand majestically at the top of a grassy hill. I guess they expect a truck bomb or something so now the base will be surrounded and it will be accessible via a bridge.
