December 17, 2012, 10:35am (report abuse)To visit the World War One Memorial is to witness true decay.
Mr. Buckles was the last Dough Boy
to march on to eternity. As a patient at Walter Reed for some
loser war, I visited the badly
neglected WW I dome. I was shocked
by its condition. America has no
appreciation for its heroes from The Great War. That no federal funds would be spent on this adventure confirms yet further obscurity for The War To End All Wars.
