Why could not someone say that this memorial should stand as a tribute to the heroism and sacrifices of a group of people who. more than any other group in the history of this country. with the exception of those who fought during the Revolutionary War. faced more oppression at home and abroad. around the world. but who indeed nonetheless gave the ultimate sacrifice in the face of ultimate challenges for a good and proper cause. How many boat people do we have to see? How much genocide in Laos and Cambodia? How much tyranny must this country and the rest of the world witness in Southeast Asia? How much death and how much maiming? How much oppression? How many chemical weapons? How many refugees must die in sacrifice before we admit that the tyranny that we allowed to settle over Southeast Asia should not have been allowed to succeed? How much does it take? How long will it take before we truly recognize what these people did?
