A memorial--ANY memorial--begins as a concept to honor one person, a group of persons, or an event (for example: The Vietnam Wall of soldiers' names). People believed President Lincoln was a fantastic man, intelligent President, and great Orator, so they worked toward building a memorial in his honor. Not every famous person is elevated in honor to receive a memorial.
