36. The Bush Iraq War Memorial next to the Library.

Apr 2013

Why isn't there more mention of the Iraq War Memorial honoring the over 4,500 dead American Soldiers and their families?

It was funded by Fox News and donations by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleeza Rice. I understand the pictures placed on the granite walls with emotional music playing in the background is very inspiring.

The empty boots, the creased helmets, the fragments of roadside bombs bring tears to one's eyes--as well as the prostheses given to the amputees.

Truly dramatic and emotional.
