YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD

Michelle Malkin is reporting that Crescent of Jihad Embrace will be altered. The National Park Service and the Crescent's architects are responding to your feedback.

A reader has a suggestion for the architects to consider:

The most important elements that serve to memorialize the actions of those on that flight ARE THEIR OWN WORDS WHICH THEY CHOSE AS THEIR OWN MEMORIAL!

· They didn’t survive—let’s let their chosen words live! Etch their words in granite at the top of a set of steps (equal to the number of passengers)!

· Just look how well the Psalm they chose reflects both their actions and the location of their heroism.

· For each of the geographic images below (pastures, waters, paths, valley) you could have a walk-through memorial honoring other such acts of heroism in our history that also took place in Pennsylvania (Valley Forge, The birth of our Constitution and Declaration, Gettysburg)

· If you want to avoid controversy over the separation of church and state, just let “He” in the following also stand for “America” or “Freedom”

o [The Love of Freedom] maketh me to lie down
In green pastures

o [The Love of Freedom] leadeth me
Beside the still waters

o [The Love of Freedom] leadeth me in the paths
Of righteousness

o Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil

o Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies

o Thou anointest my head with oil . . . and so I accept this (anointed) mission:

o Let’s Roll

Works for me. And from the air, should any would-be hijacker ever fly over the monument, he should see "LET"S ROLL" staring back at him in big, bold letters. Make the letters out of trees, granite, or just rocks like the Nazca lines, whatever works best and will last a long time.

But those two words should be shouted to the sky.
