For two years, Tom Burnett Sr. has been speaking out against the crescent-shaped memorial to Flight 93. This week Beverly Burnett (mother of Flight 93 hero Tom Burnett Jr.) stepped into the public eye to support her husband, and to make her own appeal for a full investigation:
Today, I am adding my voice for a full and transparent review of the National Park Service and Flight 93 design selection process that produced Crescent of Embrace. Does it have Islamic symbols or doesn’t it? Let's settle this once and for all. Why do you think Tom Sr. opposed this design? It is pretty simple; Tom Sr. saw the Islamic symbols and knew those symbols did not belong at the crash site of Flight 93. Tom Burnett Sr. traveled to Pennsylvania last August to attend the Task Force Meeting to voice his opposition to the memorial design. A Family Board member as well as a commissioner accused Tom Sr. being “just like the Islamic terrorists” that killed our son. Why didn’t someone speak up and defend Tom Sr.’s right to voice his opinion?

That’s like putting up a Swastika over the Memorial at Dachau...
LOL :) True.
You go Beverly! Make ‘em tell the truth.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
I wrote and emailed every possible place that was in favor of this design...I still think it is WRONG!
That’s ridiculous! Why would they do such a thing? I’d rather have no memorial than that.
If they build that crescent-shaped memorial, it should be shunned: the heroes of Flight 93 would expect no less.
Bulldozers and backhoes in the night might not be a bad idea, either...
