Army memorial

The article says that (at least in 1992) "the Air Force was the only branch of the military without a memorial." Is this accurate? I have been trying to find an equivalent national memorial to the U.S. Army. I know about the Marine Corps Memorial and the Navy Memorial (the latter of which honors the Marines as well, of course).

I considered posting this to the Reference Desk but I was mostly interested in the answer for purposes of correcting this article if necessary.

Here's your answer: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/11/AR2006111100749.html There is also another memorial for a specific army armored division (5th?) at the main entrance to Arlington Cemetery.

--dkastner 15:12, 13 December 2006 (EDT)

Thanks, DK. But based on this, the answer seems to be "no, there isn't an Army memorial, but there are memorials to specific units of the Army." (Heck, to add to the list, I've been to lots of Civil War battlefields with monuments and memorials to to specific regiments and other units.) Do people think that this makes the statement in the article inaccurate enough to justify a change? On the assumption that more people have the article watchlisted than do this talk page, I think I'll Be Bold, edit the article, and see what happens. I won't be at all hurt if a subsequent concensus disagrees with me. --JohnPomeranz 20:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
