Perhaps It’s Just A Day For Bad Optics

This sign has been draped around the Twin Towers tribute at Memory Gardens Cemetery next to Highway 4 in Concord.
Curious visitors asked about it and were told the responsible group had recently acquired a piece of the cemetery and wanted to advertise their service offering.

Visitors who noticed the banner questioned its positioning but staff apparently did not share their concerns.
Photographer Bob Dottery said: “As near as I can tell, it’s legal but it’s going to tick off a lot of people driving by…”

On a day when the leader of the free world raised the specter of December 7th during a visit with the prime minister of Japan, draping a banner advertising Islamic funeral services on a 9-11 memorial also left some folks aghast.
