War memorials remind humanity about the courageous men who have laid down their lives for the sake of their motherland. For these people safety of their people, their homeland and all that pertains to the country is more important than the breath in their body. People visit the memorials and take children to these memorials not to get enjoyment out of their visit. They visit them to remind themselves about the courage in mankind; to pay homage to those who have lost their lives for their comfort. Children are taken there to inculcate in them love for their country. These slain men are examples for the children to be fearless and strong like them.
