The Bavarian town of Frankenmuth Michigan is one of the many places around the country that has received a steel beam from the wreckage of the world trade centers.
Just over an hour away from my home me and my better half decided to go and check this one out today, 9/11 is just a couple days after our anniversary so it was a bit of a somber anniversary day trip.
But the Frankenmuth brewery has some of the best ocktoberfest beer around so...

Town rejects 9/11 memorial because of "Murdered by Moslem extremists" phrase
James Gadiel
February 3, 1978
A gentleman and a gentle man
Lifelong resident of Kent
Murdered by Moslem extremists
September 11, 2001
The above is what was suppose to be inscribed on James Gadiel's memorial in the town of Kent. But resident Catherine Posselt appealed to the city to reject the wording because the wording is "racially insensitive". The town granted Posselt's appeal and rejected the memorial.
This is absolutely insane. We can't even name the barbaric throwbacks who killed more than 3,000 people on September 11th because we might hurt their feelings. First off, how is the memorial "racially insensitive"? "Moslem extremists" are not a race, they're a bunch of islamic supremacists who kill innocent people in order to establish shariah law.

Peter Gadiel lost his son James when planes struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. He has asked for a memorial planned in the town to be inscribed with the phrase that has divided the town and gotten national attention, the Waterbury Republican-American reports.
Kent resident Catherine Posselt Bachrach led a citizens' appeal to reject the wording, the Republican-American reports, and town officials agreed with her.
First Selectman Ruth Epstein told the the Torrington Register Citizen that the inscription would be racially insensitive and not appropriate for a monument paid for with taxpayer dollars.
“I feel it was such a catastrophic episode for the United States, and we lost one of our own, that it is a good idea to memorialize James. But we could not condone that wording for anything on public land,” she told the Register Citizen.

Steel cross installed near Flight 93 site in Pa.
I personally think they should make a few "Branding Irons "with the steel from the towers ,to be used on Al Qaida ,and Taliban numbnuts when they are caught! But this is also nice, and more acceptable !

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — As hundreds of firefighters bowed their heads in prayer, a cross made out of steel from the World Trade Center was dedicated Sunday near where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into the ground on Sept. 11.
The 2-ton, 14-foot high cross sits on a concrete base shaped like the Pentagon at the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Co., just a few miles from where the plane crashed into a field. The cross made a 311-mile journey from Brooklyn on Saturday, accompanied by hundreds of motorcyclists, many of them current or retired New York firefighters.
"We wanted to find a home for this steel," said Paddy Concannon, a retired lieutenant from the Fire Department of New York. "This is an effort on our part to tie the three events together: the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville."
The cross is not part of the official $58 million Flight 93 National Memorial. That memorial will be built in phases and is expected to about 40 percent complete by the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
Shanksville Chief Terry Shaffer said the cross dedicated Sunday would serve as inspiration whenever his department responds to a call.
"I couldn't have dreamed this would turn out any better, all the brotherhood coming down from New York and New Jersey and showing up here today to pay their respect to this piece of steel," Shaffer said.
Gary Sims, a firefighter with New York's Ladder 22, was among those in the motorcycle escort and said he took part "to help carry the word," of Flight 93. The crash killed the 40 passengers and crew members onboard.
Among those attending the ceremony was Patty Sumner, of Martinsburg, whose firefighter brother, Joseph Girard Leavey, died in the south tower. He had been on the 78th floor and his body was recovered more than a month later, on the day he was to take his captain's test, she said.
"I'm in heaven," she said after the ceremony, during which the names of the victims were read aloud. "I was very happy that everyone was able to get together."
Flight 93, which was en route from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, was the only one of the four planes hijacked that day that did not reach its intended target, believed to be in Washington, D.C.
Investigators believe the hijackers crashed the plane into a field near rural Shanksville, about 65 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, as passengers rushed the cockpit.
