var str = 'The 9/11 Memorial in New York City is located at the location of the former World Trade Center Twin Towers and covers half of the 16-acre site. The touching memorial honors all the 2,977 killed on September 11, 2001 in the terrorist attacks on the United States as well as the 6 who died in the previous bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. At the center of the memorial are two massive one acre reflecting pools which are the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. Bronze parapets with the inscribed name of all those killed surround the reflecting pools. Each day a white rose is left next to the name of those who have were born on that day. The memorial complex also houses a museum that sits on the bedrock of what was the World Trade Center which is seven stories below the reflecting pools. A memorial glade also honors all those who both worked as rescue/relief workers and those who lived in the area who have been killed or sickened by the toxins that were released in the destruction. On the anniversary of the attacks each year the names of all those who perished are read aloud. https://www.911memorial.org/';

var str = 'World War I brought massive loss of life and many service member's remains were unidentifiable and thus placed in graves designated as unknown. After the creation of Tombs of the Unknown in Great Britain and France, Congress authorized a national memorial for these unknown soldiers in 1921. Four unknown soldier remains were disinterred and one of them was chosen by a World War I veteran US Army Sgt Edward Younger; this special casket was brought back and buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in a special marble tomb. The crypt bears the inscription "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God". With the rise of tourists,since 1937 the US Army has maintained a 24/7 guard which became the responsibility of the 3rd Infantry Division or "Old Guard." After both World War II and the Korean War additional unknown remains were added in adjacent crypts in 1958. In the 1980s amidst controversy, a Vietnam War service person's remains was added, but subsequent pressure by family members and veterans and DNA testing verified the remains as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie in 1998. His family requested his reburial at the National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks Missouri. The Vietnam War Tomb of the Unknown has never been filled and instead was rededicated as a memorial to all service person's from 1958-1975 who are still missing. ';

var str = 'The beautiful white travertine Catholic basilica on the hills of Montmatre in Paris was inspired by desire to honor the more than 58,000 Frenchmen who lost their lives during the civil uprising in Paris at the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1873. When the French Assembly approved the building of the basilica in 1874, however, part of the reason was to celebrate the victory over the communards of Paris who had slain the archbishop of Paris during the fighting. Many of the communards remain entombed in the ground underneath the basilica in the gypsum mines; the French Army of Versailles used explosives to destroy the underground chambers where they had sought refuge. The next archbishop is said to have climbed the butte of Montmartre and had a vision that on this beautiful high spot overlooking Paris a church of the Sacred Heart should be built; the basilica became a symbol of the resurgent Catholic Church in France. The view from the Basilica which sits on the highest ground in Paris is spectacular.';
