How dare she and her brother? Who the heck is he to try and alter history? Silly idiots. Yes, the American people spoke and the statue will depict what ACTUALLY happened and who was there at the time. It will depict the REAL HISTORY of the moment and not REVISIONIST HISTORY.

Actually I don't think there will be a statue to the three white firemen. However, they did wind up on a United States stamp and all three white firemen were invited to the White House by President Bush when the stamp was unveiled. I bought a sheet from the Post Office. It's great - it shows the three white firemen raising the flag at Ground Zero and the sheet is entitled "America Responds". At the bottom of the sheet it reads "The 9/11 Heroes Stamp Act of 2001 directs the Postal Service to transfer the net proceeds from the sale of these stamps to the FEMA to provide assistance to the families of emergency relief personnel who died ...". Much better than Ratner's politically correct statue! I think it was Donald Rumsfeld who said, when the picture of the three white firemen raising the flag was released, "We haven't even started the war against terrorism, but we won it" (or something like that). The liberal Ratners were slapped down by the American people!
