What would be an affective memorial? Something like the AIDES quilt? Something like a fountain with empty chairs, like a 9-11 memorial? The depth and breadth of the loss is so great and so diverse that any one memorial would not reach all, nor meet the needs of the mourners in such a variety of situations. Is a memorial a real panacea or just a bandaid? What to do, what to do? Of course, this is an on-going trauma, and we are still caught up in its death grip. When would be the “right time” to discuss a memorial?
How many books will not be written? How many plays not produced? Plastic artworks not created? Songs not recorded? And remember, fascist swine, that all of these represent profits not realized.

It was hard not to cry when walking thru the Viet Nam memorial, this one could be worse.

If they built this wall, The Former Guy would take credit for the wall itself while blaming all the inscriptions upon the media…

If Trump was still in office, he could use that as both a memorial and a border wall. Thankfully, he is not.

For those who have difficulty understanding numbers, another way of saying 500,000 is “half a million”.
