Memorials to the Vietnam War veterans, Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine school shooting, and 9/11 terrorist attacks commemorate events that shattered myths of national identity. Conflating memorials with cemeteries, they celebrate victims as if they were heroes. This new paradigm prompts an endless loop of mourning camouflaging history in a triumphal narrative.
