I have a feeling that the heroes who brought down the plane would want to see this travesty burned to the ground.
I would say that anything that could be twisted into a cresent would be in bad taste.
Give the trees a few years to grow and then take an arial picture in the fall. That picture would be all over the Arab world mo-ricky-tick.
The heroes of that flight do not deserve this slap in the face.

"Preacher vows fight over Flight 93 memorial design"
Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SOMERSET, Pa. - A Somerset County preacher vowed to fight the design of the Flight 93 National Memorial, insisting that the crescent pathway used in the design is a symbol of Islam.
"This is a memorial to the terrorists who killed those people, not a memorial to the folks who died there innocently," said the Rev. Ron McRae, leader of the Bible Anabaptist Church near Jerome, about 55 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
"The crescent is as much connected to Islam as the cross is to Christianity," said McRae of Conemaugh Township, also listed as director and founder on the Web site of the Lancaster-based Street Preachers Fellowship.
McRae said the group may go to court to try to block the "Crescent of Embrace" memorial designed by Paul Murdoch Associates of Los Angeles. The design centers around a mile-long semicircle of red maples surrounding the point of impact, where 40 passengers and crew were killed when the hijacked plane crashed near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001.
Though not accepted by all Muslims, the crescent moon and star is an internationally recognized symbol of Islam and appears on the flags of many Muslim nations."
When the bullcrap starts at the top, don't be surprised how far it splatters when it rolls downhill.
"This is a memorial to the terrorists who killed those people, not a memorial to the folks who died there innocently," McRae told the Tribune-Democrat newspaper in Johnstown, Pa."
"Makin' a list. Checkin' it twice."
Now where's my little black book..... P A U L M U R D O ... etc...
THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE
THIS IS 100% INTENTIONAL
I BET THIS WAS SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY THE BLAME AMERICA FIRST CROWD.

This is a joke, right? How have the families of those heroes on board that plane allowed this to happen?

Let the National Park Service know how we feel about this outrage:

The families of Flight 93 need to stand up. The designers and the committee that approved the design need to be told exactly where to stick it.
This is disgusting. I'm not sure contacting the architects - the idiots who thought this up - will work. Is there anybody else we can contact?
I am totally aghast. Why memorialize the killers? I honestly can't think of a more inappropriate memorial.
Look like this is Teresa Heinz' doing...

The Flight 93 National Memorial Design Competition has been funded through the generous support of the Heinz Endowments and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Islamonazis don't care what is built there. So long as the ground is marked in some way so that they can build a mosque on this "holy site" once they dominate America.
Then move the crescent. Keep the memorial with the windchimes for each victim of that flight.
This pastor definitely has a good point. We all know how artists want to hide behind their creativity, while at the same time promoting their biases. Whether the artist did this or not, deliberately or without thinking, it needs to be changed. I'm sure the Islams are laughing in the streets about this one. Wow!
