We went to Naperville IL and so we thought we would go to the River Walk there, and we just so happened upon this memorial of those who died on 9-11.
How ironic! Just days before Obama supports the building of the Mosque two blocks from Ground Zero and Nancy Pelosi calls for the investigation of who is behind the opposition of the Cordoba Center.
This 9/11 memorial was erected in honor of Dan Shenower, a native Napervillian who died on 9/11 at the Pentagon. And to honor ALL who died that day.
Will Dan parents be investigated?... I'd like to see them try!
I had no idea, though, that the city had erected this a few miles from our home.

That's an awesome memorial.
All we need is a Mosque to honor them huh? Sick..I read about that bench out there ;( I used to live in Jersey and NY, we could see the towers as they were being built right from our back yard in Upper Saddle River. :(
Nice post Mark
Thanks Joe, for the info. Admiral Mullen is a good man and I am sure it would be good to hear what he has to say.
And Yes I was quite impress with this memorial and nice to know that I can go there when ever I want and sit there to reflect and remember on why we are in this fight with our enemies of this nation. Every community need this to never forget... Why.
Thanks, Ray. I am heading there in a few weeks and will head down to GZ to pay my respects.
Must have been a sight to see being built.
I never got to see the towers in person and I hope some day they will be restored, as an American symbol and statement that THEY can never take our sprit and pride of country away from us. EVER!
