Sorry I edited my previous post, and didn't noticed you had in the mean time already replied. sorry for the confusion.
Oh also, you have to because you must know what it's like? No offence, but that sounds like another excuse. I mean, if a psychopath serial-killer would say, I had to kill my victims because I just had to know what it's like, people would be disgusted. I think your argument is pretty similar.
Again I hate to jump to conclusions, but this is what I think is your true motive: vanity.
It might seem far fetched, but really that single word says it all. You want a shrine for people to remember you by; you want to be admired, just as you have admiration for the psychologically scared veterans. All human beings have an urge to be recognised, each person fills this urge in his own way, we seek acceptance in a group, or we seek acceptance of our unique individuality. We seek love, we seek respect be it by approval or be it by fear, or we seek envy. This is the devil trying to get us at our weakest point. And by doing so he leads us to commit one of the biggest sins that exist. He makes us want to become partners of God. He makes us desire for the praise and worship that rightfully only belongs to Allah subhana wa ta'ala. He makes us want to try and steal from our creator.
Remember:

Remember:
Satisfied with his possessions,
the sage eliminates the need to steal;
at one with the Tao,
he remains free of envy,
and has no need of titles.
By being supple, he retains his energy.
He minimizes his desires,
and does not train himself in guile,
nor subtle words of praise.
By not contriving, he retains
the harmony of his inner world,
and so remains at peace within himself.
It is for reasons such as these,
that an administration
which is concerned
with the welfare of those it serves,
does not encourage status
and titles to be sought,
nor encourage rivalry.
