I would have thought they’d be interested in Frank Zappa appearing on your toast.
Besides,
The personification of America is Columbia, "dove."
On Sept 17th, 2001, the Jewish New Year 5762 began at sundown, which was the date of the dove's third mission. If the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 had rounded up all the tribes, the date would have marked the beginning of the Jubilee year, meaning the 50th year following the 7 Shmita year cycles after the founding.
In modern IsraelSorry if that is confusing. It's an important point though because the NYSE was connecting its bell to the Liberty Bell on that particular day. The Jubilee year *is* the year of liberty/release, and the Liberty Bell quotes the verse about it, Lev 25:10.The first Shmita year in the modern State of Israel was 1951-52 (5712 in the Hebrew calendar). Subsequent Shmita years have been 1958–59 (5719), 1965–66 (5726), 1972–73 (5733), 1979–80 (5740), 1986–87 (5747), 1993–94 (5754), 2000–01 (5761), 2007–08 (5768), and 2014-15 (5775). The last Shmita year began on Rosh Hashanah in September 2014, corresponding to the Hebrew calendar year 5775. The 50th year of the land, which is also a Shabbat of the land, is called "Yovel" in Hebrew, which is the origin of the Latin term "Jubilee", also meaning 50th. According to the Torah, observance of Jubilee only applies when the Jewish people live in the land of Israel according to their tribes. Thus, with the exile of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Menashe (about 600 BCE) Jubilee has not been applicable. Wiki.
"And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.."
The dirtball press is the one trying to make a 911 meaning out of the First Lady's coat, so they want symbolism do they? They can choke on all of that. Let Freedom Ring.
They never catch on. By their own reaction they acknowledge who is in charge. The jokes write themselves:
Verb[edit]ride the coattails (of)
1.(idiomatic) To succeed by virtue of association (with) [quotations ▼]See also[edit]

Wishing a very happy upcoming birthday to you. :)
Melania's 'optical illusion' 9/11 coat sparks controversy
If people wish to suggest intent, just who are those yahoos on Twitter who created this 'controversy'?
Somebody wore something.
The First Lady’s coat and symbol might be a message. I’d like to know.
Clearly that is Chuck Negron’s face on that piece of toast! Stop the presses!
It’s the Washington Monument...everybody should know that, but liberals would never recognize it.
Even worse, I'd like to see more...
