As a Retired Lieutenant Fire Fighter and Retired Coast Guard Reserve, this is not what our Country Stands for. These Fire Fightes did not Raise the Flag at Groung Zero so they become Famous. They did it FOR OUR Great Nation and to Bring Everyone TOGETHER. If this is not DONE as it Happened and By those that Raised it, I will not Visit New York City and PASS the Word to my Friends not to Visit also. Let HISTORY be TRUE with no Changes to IT. I Hope you will make the RIGHT Choice as to it ACTUALLY OCCURRED. God Bless this Great Nation
"In no way, what so ever, should anyone change an actual event in history and depict it in a way that is not true! By changing the ethnicity of the fire fighters or the sex is simply recreating an untrue event. Fact is this, those were the men who stood tall together in support and for the sake of them, their families, the fire union, all the individuals who where killed and impacted by this tragic event; they should be given the respect and the statue should be created as what truely happened that day. The day needs to be represented as it happened and not creating an issue of ethnicity, we need to accept people and things as they are, haven't we all been hurt enough!
