I've got to agree with Bond and Cleaver on this one. The National World War I Memorial and Museum in Kansas city is a fitting tribute to the men and women who served in our armed forces during that conflict. Rather than establish a different memorial in D.C., let's properly fund the one we have.

Agreed, plus in my opinion we already have enough memorials in D.C. as it is.

There’s already a WWI Memorial in Washington DC. Another isn’t needed.

I have been to the memorial museum in Kansas City and I recommend it to anyone interested in our history. It is impressive. Since most of it was built in the 1920’s (although it was remodeled recently), there is a lot less revisionism than in newer museums.

The KC museum is also within shouting distance of Ft. Riley, ground zero of the influenza epidemic, which in its own way, was as historic as the war which incubated and spread it.

Unfortunately, Liberty Memorial is a playground for the area gays.
