LSU's War Memorial by Jmill42
Being a memorial, I will give you the decription given on LSU's website so as not to mess up any facts. "The newest of LSU's military memorials, the LSU War Memorial was dedicated on October 8, 1998 in memory of those who gave their lives in military conflict from World War II through Desert Storm. The LSU Alumni Association raised the money necessary to construct the memorial and then devoted it to the University. Former President George Bush was the guest speaker for the formal dedication ceremonies. The memorial serves as the site of numerous military ceremonies and recognition events each year. Visitors can always be seen viewing the names engraved on the granite walls, perhaps pondering the challenging circumstances surrounding those who lost their lives in these various conflicts. Visiting the memorial is an emotional experience at any time, but it is especially moving during the hours of darkness when the flag, illuminated at night, flows gracefully in the soft breeze reminding all those who pause to remember that Freedom is not Free!"
While it has a little dramatic flare, I hope this offends no one, because in these times, you never know, and hope against, another memorial like this from having to be built.
