[ફન_ફોર_અમદાવાદી_ગુજરાતી] Russia's 911 Memorial Gift

Has ANYBODY out there heard about this on the radio, on the TV, or in the newspaper? .......even back in 2006 when it was donated to the American people from Russia? Apparently, the news media didn't consider it to be "newsworthy"!                                                                                     I AM STUNNED AND AWED AT THE BEAUTY AND SIMPLICITY. AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD, SEEN OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GIFT. It was donated in 2006 and dedicated by Puttin personally. This wonderful memorial begs the question to me why the 9/11 commission can't come up with an acceptable memorial after having spent millions.   ISN"T IT WONDERFUL TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE MEDIA CONTROLS WHAT WE SHOULD KNOW?     I had never heard of this before receiving this email. Why didn't the press report it? Could it be because it has a picture of George W. Bush on it? It is located in Liberty Park, Bayonne, N.J. (right across the river from the Statue of Liberty and in line where the Twin Towers once stood.           This is the "TEAR DROP" made and installed by the Russians to honor those who died in 9/11 and a statement against terrorism. It is a very impressive 9-stories high. The tear drop is lined up with the Statue of Liberty.           Gift from the people of Russia. "Monument to the struggle against world terrorism, artist Zurab Tesereteii"                       ....it is an impressive memorial and statement against terrorism..           The walkway is made of stones.                 Names of the persons killed on 9 11 are inscribed on the base. The base like the Vietnam Memorial wall. It was a cold and windy day but well worth the drive to see. It is down in the shipping yards across from "The Lady".

Cheers.....
