A proper tribute: World War II memorials in New Hampshire
by Dube, Michael Douglas, M.A., CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, DOMINGUEZ HILLS, 2011, 168 pages; 1504409

Abstract:

This is the study of how World War II is remembered in the state of New Hampshire through war memorials. Existing memorials are categorized through five criteria: who built them, where they are placed, whom they honor, what form they take, and when they were built. This thesis also examines those memorials which no longer exist and explores the impact of their loss on our collective memory. Memorializing World War II in New Hampshire has been almost exclusively a local matter, relying mostly on private funding from citizens. This has resulted in a patchwork of honor, with some areas over served while others lack any memorial whatsoever; without a comprehensive plan many of those most deserving of memorials have been neglected. The recent trend toward all wars/all veterans memorials threatens to undermine our ability to properly honor those who sacrificed so much in this most terrible of wars.
