The saddest thing on the news today

[venta]

The Royal Family are in Alrewas today, dedicating a memorial to the 16,000 people who have died in service, training or acts of terrorism since the end of WWII.

In the news report it says:

"There is room for 15,000 more names to be carved on the Portland stone walls of the memorial."

Given the effect these memorials obviously have on many of us, why did the American one at Madingley (near Cambridge)leave me totally unmoved (and guilty for feeling so?)
