Re: "Secular Purpose"...........?

To be honest it doesn't bother me in this depiction, but that's just me. If it had been placed at say the main entrance by itself then it would bother me.

I still have no idea of how it will finally be displayed, if this depiction is how it will be then I don't see no problem with it.

WTC cross as a national monument

quote:
As Congress returns from its monthlong recess Tuesday, one of the first orders of business for a New York lawmaker will be to submit legislation seeking to establish the cross recovered from the rubble of the World Trade Center (WTC) as a national monument.

With the legislation titled the "9/11 Memorial Cross National Monument Establishment Act of 2011," Rep. Michael G. Grimm hopes to convince his fellow legislators to approve the bill.

This cross was a symbol of hope and freedom at a time when New Yorkers were coping with loss and destruction in the aftermath of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil, Grimm said

I guess Grimm has concerns over this case in court and wants to sort of circumvent the case all together. Got to love our elected reps....especially the republicans. (This story is about 3 weeks old.)
