Why Do We Need Memorials?

Of course we need them for honoring the people, places, animals, etc.

For example, if someone important to you dies, you would want to place something to remember him by.....also to let others know their story....

Memorials are important, for example, the Vietnam War Memorial......it was built to honor those who died in the Vietnam War for their courageous deeds.

To remember the people, building a memorial is very helpful.....especially if you want to pass their story onwards.

You don't necessarily have to be important to the society to have a memorial, as long as you are important and worth remembering to a person.

And you don't have to be rich to afford a memorial, you can easily build a shrine full of important items for the person.....a memorial doesn't have to grand, it's about the person and your gratitude to the person.
