World War II: January 1998 From the EditorWorld War II Archives | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post As the former senator so aptly stated, the National World War II Memorial is long overdue. While the record of American sacrifice is remembered in such places as the numerous military cemeteries at home and abroad and the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, those who lived through the turbulent war years keep that record alive in their collective memory. NBC News recently published a statistic revealing that World War II veterans are now dying at a rate of more than 30,000 per month. When the last veteran is gone, this tangible tribute will remain as a testament to the bravery and resolve of the American armed forces, as well as to those who endured hardship and made tremendous sacrifices on the home front.
