What is it with this sudden compulsion to list the names of the victims on a memorial? I don't recall any monument before the Vietnam Memorial listing names. Have we become a nation of number freaks? "My memorial is better than your memorial because it has more names."
Let's just build a memorial that tells of whatever tragic event occured, perhaps mention the number of people who lost their lives, and leave it at that.
i know, this thing with listing names is getting a bit out of hand.
