H.R. 6696: Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act

It recently was brought to my attention the following two facts:

1. There is only one surviving veteran from World War One.
2. There is no national memorial for World War One.

HR 6696 is a bill to construct a national World War One memorial.
I plan to write several politicians on November 5th, the day after election day, to request co-sponsorship.

Part of me feels that the Congressmen and World War Two veterans that pushed for a memorial and used language such as "they are dying before a memorial is built" are hypocrites. But I'll bite my tongue and give my support towards a World War One memorial.
