“The memorial is for the living”
Well, hot damn!
Let’s have a WWII dead American Soldier theme park!
You can go on the B-17 Adventure Ride and help put your buddy’s guts back into his abdomen!
Your ticket purchase will help pay for the park.
yes. it is built by us to help us remember them.
and yes, imho the soldiers who fought and witnessed death firsthand are uniquely qualified to appreciate life and the living in all dimensions.
my father was a b-17 pilot. i contributed to the memorial, while he was still alive.
imho it makes no sense to building a memorial if no one comes to visit it.
