Oops. No offense meant to any of the other memorials, or to the people that
are memorialized therein. I misquoted, and I believe a more accurate
statement would be that Liberty Memorial is the only "national monument" for WWI
http://www.libertymemorialmuseum.org/Monument.htm
The dedication of Liberty Memorial in KC in 1926 was attended by the
President and many high ranking officials from countries all over the world.
Too bad the Great War didn't turn out to be the "war to end all wars" as
they thought at the time....
