So the fire chiefs get their PC correct statue and put it in front of HQs in Brooklyn.What tourist is going to go out and see it in Brooklyn ?
Put a statue that is factually correct with the original firefighters,in Battery Park near the new WTC.
I heard many times that when the flag went up on Iwo Jima,most Americans on shore and at sea who saw it,stopped for a minute to look at it and cheered.
I think that anyone at the WTC,firemen,police,EMT whatever race or sex they were ,would have done the same.Stopped whatever they were doing and looked up at the flag.
They could add additional figures around the statue of firemen,police,different races and sexes and whoever else was there,to reflect the diversity of all who were there on that day.
