...Most military strategists and think tanks acknowledge that
the “Global War on Terror” will be
a multi-generational conflict,
to be potentially fought for 80-100 more years,
if not into perpetuity.

Our collective understanding of war
has changed dramatically since 1986,
and the laws governing military commemorative works
need to change accordingly.

...After nearly 16 years of continuous war,
equating to 6.3% of the United State’s entire history,
fought by an all-volunteer force across the globe,
it is time we start clearing the way to memorialize
the efforts of those who have fought this war and
will continue to do so.
