arm. this memorial stands in this rightful site because bob dole remembered. he remembered the nearly half a pl souls who unlike him never came home from the second world war. he remembered the years of service the surviving americans had invested. yet, this memorial was not built only for the generation it honors any more than it was erected to crow of their victory. bob dole called this a memorial to peace so that all generations would remember that peace is achieved in shared labor, by shared sacrifice, by volunteering for the shared duty if peace is to be won and if we americans are to continue our pursuit of a more perfect nation
