Bet that makes the 3000+ families feel much better.

They'll be dead in 100 years too. We're all doomed one way or another. Not a one of us is likely to still be around in 2106. Those 3000 troops will be as abstract as the crew of the USS maine, (accidentally) blown up in Havanna harbor, thereby sparking the start of the Spanish-American War. Hell, at least there will be a plaque/monument with their names on it, otherwise they'd be totally forgotten- like most of us here will be.
