FLIGHT 93 MEMORIAL Please respond!
9.14.05 | snowrip

As many of you have already heard, the National park Service is nearing a final decision regarding a memorial to the passengers of Flight 93. The aircraft would have hit the capitol on 9/11 were it not for the heroism of the passengers, who fought back against their Islamic hijackers. The memorial will be built in the field in Pennsylvania where the plane crashed.

Unfortunately, the design which is under final review is far from a memorial to the victims. The winning design, chosen from over a thousand entries, is called “The Crescent of Embrace”. It is a just that... a red crescent. It features a crescent-shaped grove of red maple trees which ring the crash site. Unfortunately for those who perished aboard Flight 93, the crescent is the internationally-recognized symbol of religious life for Islam around the globe. Architect Paul Murdoch, the winner of the design contest, has emphasized to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that his creation was about "healing" and "contemplation." As a "...gesture of healing and bonding...", he has proposed hanging wind chimes in a tall tower built at the crash site.

As any rational human being can easily deduct, this memorial will be an utter insult to those who were murdered by Islamic terrorists on September 11th. Through an apologistic, hand-wringing, liberal "embrace" of that day (and this war), the idea of this memorial has been corrupted to the point where it has become the literal embrace of Islamic savagery by the "multicultural" left.

There have been some great articles written on this topic... you can see them at http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_2726705.shtml http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1484237/posts

I have posted this request to ask for your help. If this memorial is approved and built, it will stand as an affront to those who gave their lives so unselfishly that day. Write, email, fax, or call the National Park Service. Ask your friends and family to do the same. Let them know, in no uncertain terms, where you stand!

The design must first be approved by the Superintendent of the Flight 93 National Memorial. Contact info is: National Park Service, 109 West Main Street, Suite 104, Somerset, PA 15501-2035. You can voice your comments by e-mail at FLNI_Superintendent@nps.gov or by telephone at (814) 443-4557. Fax is (814) 443-2180. However, the final decision regarding the design of the Flight 93 Memorial must be ultimately approved by The Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Ms. Gale A. Norton. Messages can be sent to her via e-mail at: gale_norton@ios.doi.gov or use the site’s Internet contact page. Her telephone number is (202) 208-3100.

(Thanks to milford421 for most of the contact info!)

We are many voices. Together, we can try and stop this.

Before everyone has a panic attack over the memorial design you need to listen to this interview today by Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman of KHOW. They talked with the wife of the flight 93 pilot and she was also on the board of the design committee.

She says the memorial design should go on as planned. None of the families members of the folks who died in the crash object to design either.
