Okay how about another question that might not be so "partisan" for some 
What do you consider the most moving/powerful war memorial? Which is the most moving one nationally, and which is the most moving one on foreign soil?

To me, it's the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington. Although I was too young to serve in Nam, visiting it for the first time was very emotional for me. The sight of over 50,000 names on a black granite wall, all of whom are dead or missing in action will not hesitate to bring a tear to my eye. (I served in the military during the closing years of the Cold War.)
I'd say one of the most moving memorials on foreign soil would be the military cemeteries in Europe; there's one in Hamm, Luxembourg where General Patton is buried.
