i have a strong distaste for such capitalization on patriotism.

That is not a keepsake, who would even want such a haunted piece of metal?
That is akin to keeping a piece of a loved one’s gravestone in your home.

Lets all send them nastygrams about our displeasure at their opportunistic approach to capitalizing on our nation's tragedy.  Donating a "portion" of the funds is baloney....

This has to be the biggest bunch of money grubbing whores I have ever seen. How can this be left to go on uncheck. The guys in the city that sell NYPD and NYFD hats all have to have an ID around there neck to prove that a part of the money will go to benefit the WTC Fund, and if there were as many officers as there are dip-shits in PD and FD hats we would never have a crime problem in the city. I think I will drop Mr. Guillermo Hernandez a Nasty Gram. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the board. I think I will drop a note to my congressman. Instead of trying to take my high-caps away try doing something useful

"[b]American children who understand the reasons behind terrorist acts are apt to be better prepared to understand how world events and cultural differences affect their lives, thus becoming better future leaders.[/b]"

this is the kicker - the fund that "portions" of the proceeds go to is to be used for "education".  Is it just me, or does this education consist of teaching American children that America was to blame for 9/11 because of our foreign policy?

Nastygram sent.

edited to add quotes so everyone will realize the boldface script is from the ad.

My own ploy to annoy them. Read description. Should be good for atleast 2 calls/day and 10 emails.

Quote from their site:

"The We Will Never Forget ™ Plaque will contribute part of the proceeds of each sale to a fund destined to promote education programs [red]for children[/red] about terrorism."

It's always for the children isn't it.  Bastards!
