DC should certainly have its own War Memorial...outside the National Mall. Maybe they could put it in Pershing Park. How many tourists have ever stopped to contemplate DC's voting rights while looking at the old ramshackle monument? The National Mall is sacred national space that brings all Americans together. I support DC representation but there's a point where local concerns should take a backseat to national interests. Using this space to score points on the issue of DC representation only degrades and diminishes the argument. It's a crime that there's no national World War I memorial on the National Mall and this is a chance to finally correct that. It's indicative of how little we think about or consider the importance of World War I in our nation's history. The DC World War I memorial was dedicated at a time when the city was for all intents and purposes a small town with a small town mentality. It should have never been on the National Mall to start with.
