The memorial wall IS A JOKE.
The Alliance didn't even bother to examine the wreckage of the SR1. As far we know Shepard was the only one who went back to the SR1 crash site to locate the remains and gather the dog tags of those lost in the destruction of the first Normandy.
So NOW all of sudden they care who died?
I don't see how it's a joke at all. It's Shepard's ship, it's members of HIS crew that he lost in this war, so it's paying respect to the fallen. Maybe Anderson requested they put in the wall or even Ashley. It's a nice way of remembering all the people from all 3 games that you've lost, even that poor son-of-a-b**** Jenkins. I thought it was very thoughtful and loved that when Mordin and even Legion's names appeared when they died they were put up on there. I actually got even more emotinal seeing their names on the wall after their death scenes.
But as for the OP's statement, I was also curious as to why Nihilus wasn't on the wall too. I mean, I guess it is just for people of Shepard's crew over the past 3 games, and since he never was an actual part of the crew, he didn't belong, but I think it would of been fitting to put the first actual major casualty of the war on there.
