I heard this on the news last night and I was absolutely disgusted...Sick and tired of the crap which has completely engulfed us as Americans having to do everything the politically and unanimously correct. It is not right to alter and fabricate an invalid historic depiction the the event which actually took place.

I signed and also passed along company-wide and to my entire mailing list. Let's all try and help make this happen the PROPER way!

:cool:

I'm in.
Lets make it the way it should be.

Signed...thanks for posting the website!

Done!

Shane :cool:

Done ! I had heard that the person who owns the site for the monument is the one that brought this change up. Is that true? :mad:

Done, I'm not surprised that they are trying to change it though. This country is the letting the PC crowd ruin just about everything.

I hear they are going to update the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, VA to make it more inclusive too. They're going to change some of the soldiers from white to Japanese. :eek: :D

Apparently, it's more important to be PC than to accurately reflect the moment in history. :(

I don't feel it's right, however, for me to sign the petition since I am neither a Firefighter nor a New Yorker. Hopefully they can work it out.

Done.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention

Signed.
What is more "politically correct" than the truth. I just don't get some of the liberal thinking out there.

Tripps,Done Buddy.Let's keep it real for history sake.

I heard on the news today that the whole thing has been put on indefinite hold. The public outcry about this was HUGE. As I can see above, some of that outcry came from OSO. Great!! I guess ALL of New York opposed the change.

tripp's done! are you and dona going to a/c for the boat show?

jimh i wont be going this year even though we had fun last time,thanks for asking,see you around,tripps :cool: :cool: :cool:

signed, thanks Tripps

#49,264, DONE

Just a side note but did you know that flag came off a yacht at the marina near the World Trade Center. If 3 other ethnic firefighters would have taken the trouble to go down take the flag off the yacht and bring it back to ground zero. Their picture would have been taken, history would have been and the statue would have been made to look like them with no complaints from America. What a shame race has to be bought into everything. The PC people won this one. :(

I signed last night. But, to update, CNN just reported that the Fired Department of NYC, which had commissioned the statue, has dropped plans for the memorial due to the controversy. At a later date, they will renew ideas for a memorial to 9-11-01 but it will not involve making a staute based on the photo of the guys raising the American Flag.
