I couldn't care less one way or the other, but I can see both sides of that argument.

I don't remember clearly, but wasn't there similar criticism of the Vietnam Memorial? I find that one to be particularly moving, and it would have sucked to only put the names up of soldiers whose family signed the waiver. (I think that there was also criticsim of the overall design of the Vietnam Memorial. I think it looks beautiful and I'm impressed that Maya Lin was only 21 when she submitted the proposal for it.)
