Intervention Needed
Throughout Australia and New Zealand you see monuments dedicated to the soldiers
who lost their lives during WW1. It is quite poignant.
There was also a memorial to Admiral Byrd in Wellington, New Zealand, known for travels in Antarctica. It spoke how he did so much to protect Antartica for the world to benefit.

America at its best is worthy of celebration.

That much detail makes their humanity very vivid. Even just seeing the names
