Seen this in friday 18th USA Today paper.

 

" Army officials are renaming seven of the main roads here. The post`s commander says it`s time to honor soldiers who fought 15 years ago in Somalia and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. The streets are currently named after important places from the 10th Mountain Division`s service in Europe during WWII."

How very sad....So they're just old news, let's move on? There are no new streets, or parks or buildings that they can name to remember recent losses?

One of the first things I did when I got a computer was look up the name of a local park. I had passed Lufbury park for years and never knew it was named for a local WWI hero.
