Now that you mention this during Deborah Johns' guest appearance on the Mike Rosen show (on 850am KOA) here in Denver two days ago Mike brought up that topic with her. I think she was surprised to hear about the crescent design. I was in and out of my car running errands during parts of the interview so I cannot say with certainty what her exact response was.
I am a quiet freeper....
and I live in Somerset county.
will make a note to attend this event.
regarding the name of the memorial...it is still in the news...I made several calls...the director said that most people approve of the name and design!!! and that only about 100 calls resulted...so I made sure that he knew I was call 101 and voiced my opinion..letters to the editor at the Somerset American Daily, Somerset PA/15501 would help lots...
I would love to be there but I can't. Wishing your event the best of success.

In those same 8 counties I emailed the details to the Pennsylvania American Legion district commanders requesting that they encourage their members to attend the rally. I also sent the info to their state headquarters.
People (non PA residents) should be advised to take a local map as the memorial is really out in the middle of nowhere. IMHO
bttt and may God be with you

I cannot attend this rally but my heart and soul are there with all of you who will be there. I need to make a personal pilgrimage to this site at some point - I was on Capitol Hill the morning of 9/11, and I will always believe that those 40 brave people saved my life and those of many of my friends.
lunch bttt
