The"Sean and Frank Morning Show" on WCBM am680 in Baltimore, Maryland this morning, Sean Casey had quoted an article in which made me madder than hell, and made blood shoot straight out my eyeballs. I thought to myself, "what in the hell has my country come to?" As you read this entry, you are going to get angry, you are going to question "Is this for real?" and you are going to be amazed at the results of the investigation that I have made since the broadcast.
Some history: On March 7, 2002, Congressman John Mutha (D-PA12th) introduced a bill before the United States House of Representatives to establish a National Memorial to be developed by a commission, and ultimately administered by the National Park Service. On April 16, 2002, Senator Arlen Spector (R-PA), introduced a version of the "National Flight 93 Memorial Act" in the United States Senate. On September 10, 2002, the bill passed both houses of Congress. The bill specifically excluded the four hijackers from the passengers to be memorialized. When signed by President George W. Bush on September 24, 2002, it became Public Law Number 107-226, and the site was automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The most prominent Commission members are former Pennsylvania Governor, and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, and retired United States Army General Tommy Franks.
Within three years after the act became law, the Commission is supposed to submit to the Secretary of the Interior, and Congress, a report containing recommendations for the planning, design, construction, and long-term management of a permanent memorial at the crash site. The proposed boundaries of the National Memorial extend from Lambertsville Road to U.S. Highway 30. It will be approximately encompass 2200 acres, of which 1200 acres are privately held, but are protected through partnership agreements.
The Commission decided to select the final design for the memorial through a multi-stage design competition funded by grants by the Heinz Foundation, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The competition began on September 11, 2004, and over 1,000 entries were submitted. By February 2005, five finalists were selected for further development and consideration. The jury selecting the final design included 15 members, and comprised family members, design and art professionals, community and national leaders. Over a three day review period, a 9-6 vote was cast, selecting the winning design. and announced it on September 7, 2005.
http://www.flight93memorialproject.org The architectural firm of Paul Murdoch, who won the right to design the memorial, unveiled something that some people will forever link that to the terrorists of September 11th. The "Crescent of Embrace" design features a crescent shaped area containing 40 groves of Red and Sugar Maples, and Eastern White Oaks representing each victim of September 11th. A black slate wall will mark the edge of the crash site, where the remains of those who perished on Flight 93 are still entombed.
http://www.paulmurdocharchitects.comBut by the simple fact that the memorial resembles an Islamic crescent, it is even more appalling where it is pointed to. According to Islam.com, the "memorial" is pointed East towards Mecca, according to it's Mecca direction calculator. But that is just the beginning......
According to the July 25, 2007 article on WorldNetDaily, there will be 44 inscribed glass blocks placed along the path Flight 93 followed to the ground, matching the number of passengers, crew, - and TERRORISTS...... Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), sent a letter to the Department of the Interior, asking the Department to reconsider the "Crescent of Embrace" because of the symbols ties to Islam.
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56836 One of the victim's family members, Tom Burnett, Sr, whose son, Tom Burnett, Jr was killed aboard Flight 93, was in opposition of the memorial after viewing the design. "It is unmistakably an Islamic symbol..." And he continues, "The red Crescent of Embrace....bastardizes what my son and others did on Flight 93..." And as for the design, he is 100% correct.

http://www.honorflight93.org http://michellemalkin.com2005/09/10/flight-93-memorial-seeing-is-believing/ There is a petition online that is opposed to the "Crescent of Embrace", please go to that site, and sign the petition. And please tell others to do the same:
http://www.petitiononline.com/NOCRSCNT/petition.html Folks, we are in a life and death war with the Islamo-facists. I need not tell you how important it is that we as Americans stand for this type of political correctness cancer. How are we to properly honor those who fought against all odds, and sacrificed themselves to protect their fellow Americans from these brutal hellbent savages?
If we allow this memorial to be built in it's current configuration, this will not only shame the honor of the victims of Flight 93, and their immortal fight call, "Let's Roll!", but it will give a martyr status to the murderous Islamo-facists for killing innocent Americans. And as the Maples turn red, the symbol to the terrorists are that of the innocent blood spilled on September 11th. How can a company capitulate to political correctness to "appease" to the Islamo-facists, and to slap the face of a nation based upon the Judeo-Christian heritage? This is not a conspiracy theory run amok, it is fact.......
So if we allow this memorial to be built in it's current form, why not build a monument to the Imperial Japanese sneak attackers of Pearl Harbor, or to Adolf Hitler himself? The absurdity of honoring murderers on such hallowed ground as Shanksville is outright treasonous.....
Let me remind you of a time where we faced an enemy, and fought to preserve freedom. The following video clip is for you to decide, whether you will fight for America, or become a capitulating, sniveling coward.....
http://www.dcthornton.com/2007/07/25/patton-speaksagain/ As one of the Founding Fathers, Samuel Adams once declared about America, and Liberty, "He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote it's virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man....The sum of all is, if we would most truely enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people".
My friends, it's time to turn your anger into action. We must unite to defeat this injustice! We must put aside our political differences, and unite in one, strong voice! It is time that we fight for those who helped save the lives of thousands more of our Citizens by their selfless sacrifice.
I will not forget September 11, 2001. Any real American wouldn't either.
Honor our fallen with respect. God Bless Our Troops, and God Bless America!
