WA: Pappy Boyington Memorial Blocked at U-Dub

Didn't the only Congresswoman to vote against the Declaration of War, Jeanette Rankin come from the area.

Probably be OK to put her up in bronze.

That I can't vouch for, however:

The Seattle area is home to Congressman Baghdad Jim McDermott, and Senator bin Laden builds day care centers Patti Murray.

[Emmet Fitzhume]

Yes, you are precisely correct. Here is the statue of one of history's most dangerous genocidal tyrants, in Ballard USA as you mentioned. ONLY DISGUSTING PEOPLE KEEP STATUES OF LENIN:

[CWOJackson]

It's better then that. Every state had official 9/11 observances. Governor Gary Locke lead the one for Washington state, and wouldn't even wear an American flag lapel pin.

Do they really have a statue of Lenin in Seattle???

Yes, they do. And displayed with honor too.

[Emmet Fitzhume]

I know.

It makes me angry to think about a ruthless killer like Stalin being displayed with honor, while heroes like Pappy are disregarded.

Grrrrr.

[New Perspective]

Thank you for sharing. I have the utmost respect for our WW2 veterans and especially those POW's. Pappy is only one of a very few that are/were human that I think are truly better than I.

I am afraid these little campus *&%^$& over time will white wash our hero's and turn them into criminals. This type of action is devastating to me.

I thank you and your father for your families sacrifices. For he is a real American Hero in my eyes. God Bless
