Isn't Tom Brokaw's plan to personally fellate every living WWII veteran thanks enough?

I'm not convinced what they did was so great. I made it to the end of Castle Wolfenstein in, like, two hours.

This monument ruins the symmetry of the national mall. The World War III one, though, will nicely balance the south end and lead the eye toward the reflecting pool.

Only by building a memorial to those who risked their lives for their country can we finally shut them up.
