This is a good sign. At least some students may be able to answer questions on a test about the location of these places. That would be a huge difference from even a couple of years ago. With so many in this day and age understanding very well how things on the 'national' political scene can be twisted and turned to suit, they're more open to an idea on the causes for that earlier War.

I don't care if it's the cost of gas or the anniversary, whatever the reason, at least more are showing some interest and reading more on the war and that's wonderful. I don't see this as a long lasting thing so let's hope enough get these visits in so that someone after us at least has a clue on this important period in history.
