What about memorials for victims of Islamist terrorism?Littering; if not outright vandalism. She should be charged.![]()
Nancy Carpenter hopes the sign “turns the page on this weekend’s event.”
After white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, took the life of 32-year-old Heather Heyer on Saturday, one local woman is honoring her in a beautiful way.
Beneath the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Emancipation Park that launched protests and counter-protests, Nancy Carpenter has placed a sign that declares it “Heyer Mem. Park.”

It's somewhat embarrassing that we had a memorial to victims of Islamic terrorism just over a decade after 9/11, yet it wasn't until 1993 that President Clinton commissioned a memorial to WWII veterans. Even the USS Arizona memorial to the victims at Pearl Harbor wasn't completed until 1962.
