Ron, I meant no disrespect. I just don't consider that ground any more sacred than any other patch of this old planet we inhabit. I agree with LH that every bit is sacred and that we need to be treating it all with much more care and reverence than we do. If we were to consider all ground where great tragedy occurred as sacred there'd be a lot of real estate that would be involved.

I understand that there are remains there and they are symbolic, but they do not encompass the people who were lost, imo. The body is just a shell and I think it would be healthier for those still living if the area included a memorial, but also a vibrant, living community where they can come together, work together, and begin new lives together. And, I don't think that is disrespectful of lives lost; rather I think it would be a fitting tribute to them and the American "spirit."
