I was in Kansas. City a couple of weeks ago and went to to WWI memorial and museum. For those who have not been it is well worth your time and I would recommend it.

Two others worth your atttention, should you ever be in their neighborhood:

The one in Newark, NJ, not far from the former Trump Casino there. The statuary depicting various representative people affected by the Great War was sculpted by artist Gutzon Borglum, better known for his depictions of four American presidents on Mount Rushmore, South Dakota.

And in Vincennes, Indiana, where, when the Indiana Military Museum there ran out of building space to display their memoriabilia and relics of the great War, began digging a zig-zag trench across their property's back lot....and then manned it. The use of poisonous chlorine gas from the city's nearby water treatment plant might be going a bit too far, however.... Gas, boys, GAS!
