George Bush, Desert Storm and the Memorial Yet To Be

George H W Bush Announces War Against Iraq (January 16 1991)  



No, there currently isn't one:
The National Desert Storm Memorial
History tends to overlook the uncertainty and delicate nature of the whole operation. The fact that a coalition of
34 countries had to be held together and the looming threat of Chemical and Biological warfare tends to get
brushed aside when talking of Desert Shield/Storm. The 100-hour antiseptic nature of the war as presented by the news media is really what is remembered. However, as brief as it might have been, there were 293 American men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in extracting the Iraqis and liberating Kuwait.. This site as well as
The National Desert Storm Memorial is dedicated to honor all those who served, as well as remembering all those who didn’t make it home!!!

It is our duty, and solemn obligation to NEVER FORGET OperationDesert Shield/Storm and the veterans who served. We need to rememberthis shining moment in history so that future generations know the meaning of the words: Courage, Honor, Sacrifice, and doing the right thing.
