See the Firehouse.com article about the FDNY statue if you haven't yet... http://firehouse.com/news/2002/1/11_APstatue.html
So, what does everyone think?
I see it as the difference between the Iwo Jima Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial statue. At the IJM statue the men are depicted as those in the picture. The VM statue depects 3 soldiers overlooking the wall with each from a different race. That's what the FDNY should do. Make a statue that's not an actual event to represent the different races. To change real people to be politically correct is a slap to those guys.
