A memorial--ANY memorial--begins as a concept to honor one person, a group of persons, or an event (for example: The Vietnam Wall of soldiers' names). People believed President Lincoln was a fantastic man, intelligent President, and great Orator, so they worked toward building a memorial in his honor. Not every famous person is elevated in honor to receive a memorial.
While many U.S. Presidents are honored with memorials in Washington D.C., President Jimmy Carter does not have a dedicated memorial in the city. Although he served from 1977 to 1981 and is respected for his humanitarian efforts post-presidency, no specific monument or memorial commemorates him in the nation's capital. Other presidents, such as Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington, have prominent memorials.
