National World War I Memorial on the Mall?


We've all seen the iconic twentieth-century national war memorials in Washington DC:  World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War.  They help us reflect, learn, and honor the sacrifices.  Do you remember the national World War I memorial?  Of course not, because it doesn't exist.  Fortunately, steps are underway to correct that shameful absence.  Please visit www.wwimemorial.org for more information on how you can help.  Thank you.





 

Thanks to the Dutch US Doughboys,

re-enactors who contributed Lost Battalion photographs from France for my new book, Alamo Doughboy: Marching Into The Heart Of Kaiser's Germany During World War I.
