When Chicago lost the historical landmark status of Soldier Field, it also lost something much greater:
Honor.
The young Chicagoans who lost their all-too-brief lives on foreign soil in the Great War had a humble prayer that they would be remembered in some small way by the unborn generations of the city they so loved.
By desecrating and defiling their memorial in the name of graft and greed, we have failed to be a city worthy of their sacrifice.
