*If one looks at a certain picture of a deceased Marine, it shows him in a [[uNSC Marine Corps Dress Uniform|dress uniform]] similar to that of the modern day [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]].

*For being a twenty-eight-year war against a highly superior enemy in terms of numbers and technology, there are surprisingly few photos and mementos on the monument (indicating relatively few losses), compared to the ONI memorial and even memorials dedicated historic wars on Earth (the Vietnam War memorial being a notable example). This may be because the memorial only includes mementos to those killed during the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. Fleet Admiral Hood mentions "those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return," which seems to indicate this. The monument may also simply be temporary until somthing more permanent can be constructed. | *For being a twenty-eight-year war against a highly superior enemy in terms of numbers and technology, there are surprisingly few photos and mementos on the monument (indicating relatively few losses), compared to the ONI memorial and even memorials dedicated historic wars on Earth (the Vietnam War memorial being a notable example).
