Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference.
The Marines don't have that problem. That, say Air Force officials, is enough to prevent their planned monument from encroaching on what everyone agrees is the special, in some ways almost mystical, memorial known formally as the Marine War Memorial. Fred Haynes and some others don't see it that way. To them, the entire 25-acre site is hallowed space and should be undisturbed. Unlike thousands of his comrades, Haynes survived the most intense fighting of the war.
