NEELIX: This isn't about logic. It's about remembering.
CHAKOTAY: Some things are best forgotten.
JANEWAY: Not this. I stood by once before and did nothing. Not again.
EMH: Captain?
JANEWAY: I watched while Saavdra vaporised the bodies.
PARIS: No offense but, those were other peoples' memories
JANEWAY: The obelisk at Khitomer. The fields of Gettysburg. Those are other peoples' memories too, but we don't honor them any less. The eighty two colonists who died here, they deserve their memorial.
JANEWAY: We're not going to shut down the transmitter. Is that clear? Is that clear?
JANEWAY: I'm suggesting that we repair it. Recharge the power cells. I want that monument to function properly for another three hundred years. We'll place a warning buoy in orbit. Anyone who enters this system will know what to expect. Dismissed.

(The original away team place power transfer receivers on the monument base.)
CHAKOTAY: We're ready, Captain.

CHAKOTAY: We're ready, Captain.
JANEWAY: I know this was hardest on the four of you. But if you hadn't stopped at this planet all the people who died here would have been forgotten. And if they could, I know they'd thank you. Janeway to Voyager. Stand by to initiate power transfer. Five to beam up.
But... we may lose sekundant. 
Well done all! 
It only took 13 days to finish this time and I doubt a more appropriate episode for the US holiday celebrated last Monday could have been chosen. A reminder to not just remember, but to not be as judgmental about events since fear of same compounded Savaadra's original error.
