“It ought to be a gigantic middle finger, pointing straight at Mecca.”
Well, if any Freepers living out that way should happen to have a power chisel and some sculpting talent, by all means, go there in the middle of the night, and sculpt your hearts out on that giant rock. There’ll be a fitting spontaneous memorial on that site yet.

I hated the idea of the rock but now...a large rock...strong...overpowering...like the heroes of flight 93. I do like your idea of a huge cross...any thought of a muslim memorial plan would be overshadowed by the cross.

In a perfect world, the boulder would represent what the US did to the entire Islamic world: turn it into a lifeless pile of rubble.

Why does there need to be a memorial of any kind? It’s a field, plant a crop.

Maybe the plans have been modified, but I didn’t see any aerial views of the planned design, just ground level shots of various aspects.

To: Enchante
a decade later and all we've got for a memorial to the heroes of Flight 93 is a big rock????Beats the hell out of a "crescent of embrace."
