Salem Oregon event will conflate war on Iraq with Sept 11th 2001 |
|
Local news this evening reported that on the aniversery of Sept 11th, there will be flag displays in Oregon's capitol of Salem. There will be a flag with the name of everyone who died on Sept 11th, there will be a flag with the names of police and fire fighters who died on Sept 11th, and there will be a flag of all of the soldiers who have died in Iraq.
:wtf:
What about in everyone else's area? Are there events in other cities that will conflate the war on Iraq & Sept 11th?

I went to their website and didn't see it anywhere. They showed video of people preparing the flags but they didn't identify the group. It sounds as though it will be a state or city sponsered event. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
I would love to take action to stop this, but I'm not sure who to contact. I'm a little concerned that action to stop this could appear disrespectful to the families of 911 or the soldiers. If you have any advice please get back to me.
on edit: I had the time wrong, but chanel 8 just covered the story at 11pm.
