I remember when I visited Washington D.C. in 8th grade and I took a picture of the statue of the men raising the flag from WW2?!? Anyways - I remember when the whole WTC incident occured and I first saw that picture it reminded me of the one I had taken so many years ago.
If they're going to do a true statue of the picture they shouldn't change a thing (including race). Pictures capture memories in split seconds and that picture will live on in the memories of many of us. Why change it? To be politically incorrect? Who cares? As if the whole tragedy didn't affect us ALL anyway?
Personally I'd be pissed if they wanted to change my race and I were one of the fire fighters in the statue (if they're recreating the actual picture).
Just my .02!
