Jeff:
Thanks for this thread and for supporting the effort to modify this Memorial.
I agree with you that it is totally inappropriate to honor the heroism of those on Flight 93 with a crescent symbol.
I visited the Shanksville site last October and was moved to tears and filled with pride at the magnitude of their sacrifice on 9-11-01.

Do you know anyone else we should contact?
And Freepers should call their Senators & Representatives because this Memorial will have public funding.
Regardless of whether the families accept this 'Crescent of Embrace'....all Americans are paying for the National Memorial so we need to make our voices heard!
It's OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!
I will glady make some calls Julie!
Thanks for the links, Julie. I'll write tomorrow.
JUlie, thank YOU! for making that information available and all you have done and are doing to turn this around. God bless you for those efforts which I know are bearing much fruit. It is the very spirit of the America our founders established and that we all love and cherish.
