Answer
The District of Columbia War Memorial was the subject of a campaign by Buckles to change its name. The memorial, originally known as the District of Columbia World War I Memorial, was dedicated in 1931 to honor the District's residents who served in World War I. Buckles argued that the memorial should be renamed to reflect the service of all District residents in all wars, not just World War I.
