The Freedom Walk will begin ... near the site where the airliner crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 ...
The recently
announced "America Supports You Freedom Walk" is beyond belief. It's an attempt to connect 9/11 to the Iraq war and is in execrable taste. From the press release:
The Freedom Walk will begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 11 in the Pentagon South parking lot, near the site where the airliner crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. The walk route will consist of a two-mile trek through Arlington National Cemetery, over the Potomac River, and will end by the reflecting pool on the National Mall, where a free concert featuring country music star Clint Black will take place.
