Here is an online petition to Depict the WTC Flag Raising as it Actually Occurred!

VIEW SIGNATURES   ----------   SIGN THE PETITION

To:  The New York City Council, The New York City Fire Department

We the undersigned citizens of the United States, and concerned citizens from other nations, hereby petition the New York City Fire Department and the City of New York as follows regarding the proposed statue depicting the raising of the US flag at ground zero of the WTC attack by firefighters on September 11, 2001.

1. Immediately change the proposed statue or replace it, such that the actual events of the flag raising are accurately depicted to show those firemen who actually raised the flag doing so. Use the famous picture, shown below, of the flag raising to acurately depict the flag raising as it occurred.



2. Cease all efforts to modify the historical record of that day in any way, shape, or form that would promote a so called "culutural diversity" or "politically correct" agenda of any type and simply present events as they occurred accurately for rising generations.

This event is of great historical significance and has united the American people like no other. The only hope for future generations to avoid and/or counter similar events is for the historical record to be accurate. The only way to continue the unification created by those horrible events is to present them accurately and truthfully. To do otherwise will only promote disunity and aide the cause of our enemies.

One might just as well try and depict the terrorist animals who perpetrated these attacks and those who aided and abetted them as choir boys and peace loving pacifists as to depict the heroic events of that flag raising as something other than what they were. The fact is, those enemies who attacked this nation were cruel, grossly evil and perverted in their actions and deserving of a harsh and just retribution for what they did. Thousand of innocent American and other lives were lost due to the twisted religious and ideological ravings of those whe pepretrated the attacks, thousands who were innocent of any crime other than trying to live their lives in freedom and peace.

The fact is also that the events regarding the flag raising occurred as they did, without any thought to political correctness or cultural diversity. At that moment, the only thought was patriotism to our nation and devotion to the duty of helping the victims. To depict it in any other manner sullies an historical and a heroic act, and descrates hallowed ground. The American people will not stand for it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Here's is a recent signature from a Lt. in the NYFD who has signed the petition at number 1448:
No disrespect to my Brothers and Sisters of Color. They should also make another statue to show the work of everyone FD/PD/EMS/CONSTRUCTION WORKERS/DAY LABORS but don't change the symbol the flag raising stood for. It had nonthing to do with color we were all one color that day. I was injured there operated on and still in physical and mental pain. This is making it worse. I am in an Interracial marrage 14yrs 0n Jan 19th we both work for FDNY
I pray this thing has legs and that it awakens many to the PC and Culturally Diverse agenda of internal enemies who are bent on destroying all we cherish as a Republic.

Isn't this just another attmept to get everyone incited on a race card?

I am a lot more worried about a smart chip "National ID" card. I have visions of going to the food store and being turned away because my telephone bill was paid late latst month!
