In some respects, this memorial is more inclusive than the proposed one,
since it honors ALL Medal of Honor recipients. So I think that's a good
thing.

Well, it honors all MOH recipients from the University, men and women,
young and old, dead and alive.... So how many MOH recipients d'you
suppose there are among University of Washington alumni?

Sounds to me like a way of dodging the incoming fire, still without
singling out for honor a man who (horrors!) *shot down enemy
aircraft*.

Possibly the students believe deep down in their hearts that it's
possible to win the MOH for digging wells in Africa.
