A Letter to the Organizers of the Flight 93 Memorial

I sent the following letter yesterday:

August 20, 2006

Families of Flight 93
Mr. Hamilton Peterson, President
109 West Main Street, Suite 104
Somerset, PA 15501-2035

Dear Mr. Peterson:

Like thousands of others, I watched the movie, Flight 93, on A & E last night, and then I went to your website. I was shocked to see that the main design, the Bowl, greatly resembles a Muslim crescent, and that the memorial seems to be honoring the murderers instead of the brave passengers on Flight 93.

I will never support or visit this memorial, and it breaks my heart to see what has been done to it.

If this is being done to further some psycho-babble nonsense about reducing the Islamofascist threat to America through reason and discourse, the purveyors of such thinking show little understanding of the mind and the motives of the terrorist. Certainly our actions in saving the lives of thousands of Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo have had no effect.

Yours truly,

Russell Wilcox
