We go to wars, we start wars, we sometimes finish wars, we always seem to have to wage war.
We’ve had a War on Drugs, a War on Crime, a War against Poverty, a War on Racial Injustice, a War against Communism, a 20+ year War on Terrorism, and now a War against COVID? And, we have thousands of monuments to War.
Sheesh, I’d just like to see our one monument to Peace. Does anyone know where that is?

Your post is confusing. You speak of Americans waging war, but look for a "peace" monument. There would be NO peace monuments if we did not have war or hatred in our world or country.
One of my personal favorites in Washington was where I took many a walk at lunch..

But many others throughout the world, with the aim of reminding us of what the meaning of peace really is.
If you want a peace memorial that is not inspired by the hate and agony of war, look to your heart.
