The following is more info. I found regarding the choice of the design and those involved....none of which will surprise those of us here at FR. But it is time to take the same action as Balding Eagle and get the word out about this dispicable hi-jacking of a national tragedy. Big kudos and thanks to the site I found on Google, named Sensible Mom.

From "Sensible Mom Web Site":

"On a whim I decided to google Milena Murdoch and Iraq War to see what would come up. The first hit was the magazine (update: actually it is an annual report) for the Heinz Endowment, Teresa Heinz's organization. From the magazine,"

"The Heinz endowment provided funding for a coordiator to be hired. We also contributed support for a design competition, which helped gather ideas from across the nation and produced the finanlists' concepts showcased here."

"Now it may be that the Heinz Endowment with its founder being from Pennsylvania was approached for funding and there's nothing more to it. However, the revelations during the election that the Heinz Foundation funded far left activitsts, like the Tides Foundation, makes me skeptical of any philanthropy from her organization."

"Update: Read the article in the Heinz Endowment magazine which begins on page 22 of the PDF file linked above. It outlines the process and the players and how they whittled down the competition from a couple hundred entrants to the five finalists. This article appears to have been written before the Murdoch's won the competition...."

This branding of American soil is nothing more than another attempt at appeasement.

I wonder when Kerry will make Terresa put her Burka on? Maybe all this "bonding" with Islamofascists is because Kerry likes the idea of 72 virgins after marrying her.

How can people who clam to be so intelligent be so ignorant?

I'd say that explains a lot.
