FILE In this Dec. 18, 2013 file photo, the American World War One monument on the road to Kemmel, Belgium. The monument was built by the United States of America to commemorate the services of American troops, the 27th Division and 30th Division, who fought in the Ypres-Lys offensive with the British Army in 1918. On Wednesday, March 25, 2014, President Barack Obama will honor those Americans who died in a struggle so all-encompassing, so horrific, it simply became known as the Great War. Obama thus pre-empts most of the continental centennial remembrances which are tarteged at the early August 1914 start of hostilities which pitted the German and Austro-Hungarian empires against France, Britain and Russia and others.
