    Sacred ground as it should be, The link didn't work.

    The symbolic ground zero cross WILL STAY! at the 9/11 memorial museum as atheists lose there case. Some things just go beyond religion.

    It's only be-fitting to have The Cross at Ground Zero, regardless of one's beliefs IMO. Albeit Atheist or Agnostic, that Cross belongs right where it is.....

    May all those effected by 9/11, find comfort, peace and happiness moving forward......and all those lost Rest In Eternal Peace, or in the Hearts of a Nation too often divided, yet came together for all 9/11's horrors....

    Working less than a mile from the site it was the most tragic day of my life. Also going down to the area only a few days after it happened you could still see the ash covered buildings where ever you looking & the horrible stench of death in the air. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried at the site of the aftermath that day. This of course is the symbolic cross I was talking about.

    I gotta say, the original Pic of The Cross was aerie when I first saw it. To unusual for most to not say, it belonged there for eternity.

    The Cross rising up through the ashes, and funeral pyres, raises the hair on most peoples heads, IMO. The original pictures of the WTC utter destruction beyond belief. While one thing other than the very few survivors inside, that rose up in its aftermath, this cross stands for many things to many people, and something other perhaps to every indivdual who lays eyes on it.

    It's sad tho' regardless, of their creed, or lack thereof, such a fuss would be made by those who tried to prevent its presence in memorial, where it has the right to remain forever, a monument of its own, as worthy as any other Federal Monument. The entire purpose of any Monument is to withstand the test of time, in memorials of time passed/past; while ensuring nothing shall be disturbed, other than hearts......

    Why do people have to force others to do something? If you don't like it, don't look at it nor go.... Why can't people do that rather than force others to "believe" you're right because you don't "believe" it????

    Glad to see that it will stay, utterly stupid to remove it, and for those unaware this nation is a majority of those professing the Christian Faith. I have no problem with any faith putting their symbol of on display, your faith is yours mine is mine, simple as that.

    I was watching the news, on the Tsaraniev(sp?) or (boston marathon bastard brothers), and their sisters, incl mother, all criminals of some sort, and in court......

    I did not know the Family as a whole, once in the USA, in political asylum, rec'd, Food Stamps, Welfare Funds, Medicaid, then went and turned on the very hand that fed it......

    I don't get it...!
