This is kind of bugs me. Not that I dont appreciate all the time people spent in kansas city making tthe liberty memorial. But WWI had to the most pointless war in hostry, Im willing to argue that with any one. Sure we should remember this but why put up a memorial? Plus is says "liberty over oppression", America's moto has always been "Fight the fight on their turf" Oppression wasn't a possibility. Its not like the Germans or the ottoman empire was gonna get a ride on a ship and try to attack the Unite States, it couldn't have happened, let alone motovation. This memorial says "Yeah we beat them" rather than "Yeah we fought crime in the name of justice" --El Froggo

The Liberty Memorial isn't a tribute to the wisdom of World War I, it's a tribute to the people who died fighting it. Cookiecaper 00:59, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, Right --El Froggo

[edit] Linking Liberty Memorial to Wikipedia's World War I page

I believe that the Liberty Memorial should be linked and mentioned on the World War I page under "memorials". I am not sure how to go about asking for this. Please advise, assist. Thank you - Darren —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.13.105.138 (talk) 20:34, 25 October 2006.

Same as editing any other article on Wikipedia - you either just do it, or alternatively, discuss it on that articles discussion page. Now, I don't see a section named "memorials" on a quick scan. I do see, under the heading "Aftermath", that there is a main article Aftermath of World War I that includes a list of WWI Memorials, the first of which is the Liberty Memorial (with link to this article). Perhaps the most major memorial of each nation involved can be included somewhere in the WWI article, but this should probably be discussed on the WWI discussion page first. Now if you want, you can also argue that the Aftermath article should include a link to the Rosedale World War I Memorial Arch, but the list is only of major memorials, and I'm not sure that qualifies. --Reverend Loki 21:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National World War I Museum - opening Dec 2

In light of the opening of the National World War I Museum at the Liberty Memorial site tomorrow, I created a redirect at National World War I Museum. I may yet include a "See Also" link at National World War II Museum, and hopefully add to this article about it. If anyone gets a chance, I invite you to help me expand it. --Reverend Loki 21:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This ought to clear things up about why a Missouri city was chosen for the museum:
