Monument to the US Army 91st Division AEF at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA
.
.
When I was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, the 91st Div Monument always struck me as both awe inspiring (the picture does not capture the impressive size of this monument) and unappreciated -- despite the fact that it is at the end of the parade field in front of the HQ, it is off in the distance at the edge of the area, seldom noticed. A metaphor, in other words, for why it is important for us to take a deliberate pause to remember the sacrifice of those who fell in service to their nation--lest we forget that the freedoms we enjoy must be safeguarded, sometimes at terrible cost.
