A minor note

Would I have remembered that today was the anniversary of the beginning of the "Great War", the "War to End All Wars", if not for the prompting of the media?
It's doubtful.
Thinking on the fact that many born recently have never even heard of this huge conflict and what it meant/means to us, many other (forgotten) conflicts come to mind.
Vietnam, the conflict fought during my "time", will be forgotten as will all that we fight for (?) presently. More football games but with more casualties and tears. And we keep marching, don't we?
