Answer 1

we must detract this place, this sacred and special place, where so many have come to fight and die for our freedom. It is not a sacrifice we should take lightly, or one that we will ever forget.

Answer 2

Answer:

Detract.

Explanation:

Here, the speaker is suggestive of a way to detract this hallowed place where people have come to fight and die for their freedom. The speaker hereby is willing to take away the horror(caused by deaths) of this place as he feels that this sacrifice should not be taken lightly or to be forgotten. Thus, he has a desire to convert this hauntedness into peace and serenity and hence, suggesting an alternative way to counter this.
