Best Answer

Memorials represent our history-- where we've been, what happened at a specific time, what is worthy of being remembered. Some memorials are inspiring, like the panoramic view of the faces on Mt. Rushmore; some are emotional, like the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. Not every memorial evokes the same reaction in each person who sees it, but in a culture that too often forgets, memorials are about keeping memory alive, and about knowing important aspects of who we are as a nation.
