It's because back then it was performing your civic duty to yourself and your country and while it was and is a very honorable thing to do, (serve your country, that is) they didn't need something erected in stone to remember it by. They just did their jobs as their country asked them to do and then they went back to their lives.

Now-a-days we have to throw up a memorial almost before the event happens to maintain political correctness, or in some way heal every bleeding heart that feels slighted because they want to be remembered too, for EVERYTHING! Sort of like calling EVERYONE a HERO. After a while it loses some of it's importance in the language. Then you have to start assigning different levels of hero to maintain accuracy.

1. Military: level one hero
2. Military that never saw combat action: level two hero
3. Police and firefighters: Level three hero

and so on and so forth.

Anyway, it does seem that Vets really take a beating by the system. I'm sure they would rather have the money spent on vet health care and other beneficial programs rather than throwing up some marble statue that will mean nothing to future generations.

Anyway...............
