==Discrepancies==
The memorial has several canonical errors; for example, [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Preston Cole]]'s date of birth is incorrectly listed as April 4, 2484, when he was in fact born November 3, [[2470]].<ref>'''''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', page 415''</ref> The memorial also lists [[Michael Stanforth]]'s birthday as July 3, 2486, which would mean he was an admiral at the age of seventeen, suggesting that it too is an error. Admiral [[Margaret Orlenda Parangosky|Margaret Parangosky]] is listed on the memorial, even though she was not killed in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. This suggests that many of the names that referenced in the memorial are simply listed as an Easter egg as opposed to being fully reliable statements on the status of the characters.
