Against the wishing “of some concerned parents” such as Emily Cassidy (Denver Post: Parents Protest), a statue of Navy Seal Danny Dietz, who perished while serving in Afghanistan (Rocky Mountain News Profile of Danny), was dedicated on July 4, 2007( Slapstick Politics: Navy Seal Danny Dietz Memorial).
The stated opposition to the memorial was that it promoted violence, and its placement in a park close to an elementary school, sent the wrong message. What??!!??
Danny Dietz is the type of hero our elementary school children, or for that matter all Americans, need to learn about. I applaud the Citizens of Littleton, CO for standing with Danny’s family.
And for those people who opposed this memorial, what were you thinking? I find your stated reason (anti-gun) disingenuous and un-American. That’s right, un-American, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Danny Dietz is a hero and this memorial was the least we could do to thank him and his family for Danny’s sacrifice.
