oh yeah. heres the esteemed nola scientist which the memorial is to honor along with those dday warriors. i guess im glad they are honoring a scientist/engineer as a war hero. how often does that happen? but do we need more memorials to the dead? whats that tomb of the unknown soldier for? i guess i should be happy people are taking an interest in history but i was much more interested in the cause and effect of history than i was in the heroism and vagaries of the battlefield. it just seems a little too much like jingotourism to me.
