After a request by Virginia's congressional delegation, a team from the National Park Service will assess whether the financially troubled National D-Day Memorial is suitable to be a national monument.

What do you think? How would it affect the memorial? Would it be good for its future?

 Sounds like a good idea to me - If it's going to be promoted at the National D-Day Memorial, then it should be rolled into the National Park Service to ensure it's longevity.

With all due respect to the people who passed, putting a behemoth monument in the middle of SW Va. without long term funding was an error in someone's judgement.  Now, to ask taxpayers to foot a bill for a monument FEW people will enjoy is a slap in the taxpayers face.and speaks poorly of Sen. Warner. 

We seem to have unlimted money for needless wars, monuments for dead soldiers, bailing out Wall Street Bankers BUT let not anyone dare harm an a pet....AND interestingly we abhor healthcare for our neighbors if it is going to cost us a dime!

How do we dare rationalise this contradiction?
