At the end of our last class period, Dr. Redick presented to the class several pictures of his visit to a British war memorial that was located on top of a mountain. One particular picture he showed the class was of a Route 66 highway sign at the memorial. As we were all getting ready to leave the class room, he asked us why someone would put that sign at the memorial. My guess is that someone (probably an American citizen) thought it would be something funny to do, and thought it would be cool to put that sign there. Or he or she could of had put that route 66 sign there for a specific reason. Perhaps Route 66 was a road he or she traveled on many times in his or her life. Route 66 is a major highway that stretches from California all the way to Illinois; perhaps he or she had many memories on that road and that road is a special historic route for him or her. And to leave that highway sign at the memorial could of been a gesture for his/her's appreciation for that route. These are just some of my thoughts as to why someone would place that road sign there.
