My letter I sent yesterday thanks to Star CMC:
I wanted to let you know that I am appalled that the Flight 93 memorial is in the shape of a crescent, which you may or may not know is a symbol of Islam. To make a memorial to victims that were brave enough to stand up and fight against terrorists, knowing that they would die doing it, be in a shape of the religious symbol of the perpetrators, is sick and a slap in the face to their heroics. Osama Bin Laden’s act of terror on the United States of America ended when the brave men and women of flight 93 formed a citizen militia and took down the plane. They died on their terms to save the lives of unknown numbers of people in unknown places. They need to be honored for fighting Islamic terrorists and that is not done be building an Islamic crescent on the crash site. Planting trees to form the battle cry “let’s roll” would be better and it would remind all people who see it that we can not idly sit in our seats when terror strikes, we need to stand up and take action. In short, be American. That is why our country was founded and those are the principles on which it was built. That is why we are the greatest nation on Earth. Please do not use the current proposal for the Flight 93 Heroes.
You rock Diva!! *HUGS!*
BTW - have you ridden lately?? I just got a new suspension and haven't gotten to try it out yet!
Excellent letter! Thank you and God bless you for taking the time to write it and express those all-American sentiments!
