I've try to keep politics out of group spam messages, but this is particularly heinous. Please help get the word out, or better yet send an email or two to the addresses listed below. It only takes a second!
Dear Friends,
The National D-Day Memorial in Virginia has decided honor Josef Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at its museum. The official bust went up "just in time" for the 66th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy on June 6th.

Displaying the image of Josyf Stalin is displaying a symbol of oppression and murder, a man who had statues of himself placed throughout all of the Soviet Union, forced marches under colossal pictures of himself, and even renamed cities (plural!) all over the former USSR after himself. Gulag firing squad officers were awarded the Order of Stalin (a little badge with a relief of Stalin's head!) after killing a memorable number of political prisoners.
Josef Stalin's visage stands as a symbol of oppression and murder that the National D-Day Memorial Foundation has decided to commemorate in a memorial to freedom. I do not expect that a burning cross, a noose or Klan symbolism, nor Nazi swastikas or images of Hitler would be so cavalierly displayed in our country without similar outrage and condemnation.
Please let them know how you feel about the United States honoring Stalin with his bust in this memorial.
