Notable & Quotable: 'Rah-rah' for America!

Is this photo too "rah-rah" for America?

That was the opinion of September 11 Memorial and Museum creative director Michael Shulan.  But at least one of the iconic photograph's subjects strongly disagrees.

Firefighter Williams "Billy" Eisengrein (pictured far right) explained his feelings to the New York Post:

“It offends me as an American,’’ he told me. “To downplay and diminish [the picture]. It is bulls--t!

“It’s political correctness and trying to rewrite history. People are not afraid about offending Americans, and people who have a strong belief on what this country was founded on,’’ said Billy, 49, still a firefighter at Rescue 2 in Brooklyn.

“If it was up to me — and you can print this — if he thinks that picture is too rah-rah America, he should move someplace better in this world to live. I’ve had it with political correctness. It’s taking the country down.’’
