Take Back The Memorial

Take Back The Memorial is an organization which advocates keeping the memorial site of the

World Trade Center Memorial

.

The group was started by blogger Robert Shurbet and inspired by Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, captain of American Airlines Flight 77 which was crashed into the Pentagon. TBTM's mission is to monitor and to protest distractions of the proposed World Trade Center and 9/11 memorials from the events of that particular place and time.

Activities

Take Back the Memorial protested the placement of the

Wall Street Journal entitled The Great Ground-Zero Heist advocating this.^[2] On September 28, 2005, Governor George Pataki

ended plans to include the IFC at the World Trade Center site.

In 2007 when the proposed format of the names of the victims was made public, Take Back the Memorial along with the unions of the uniformed services of New York City objected. They seek to have the memorial list the name, age, and employer, and if relevant, the rank and assignment of the victim.[3]
