As has been reported lately a number of monuments dedicated to the heroes and those who have died on that day of infamy on 9/11, are in disrepair and some of which have been vandalized. 

There is much disrepair and decay with these sites. As a nation we have made a vow for future generations not to forget, but have they been forgotten? 

Visitors of Eisenhower Park in East Meadow have found a dirty and tattered flag and graffiti facing a section of wall plaques honoring 344 county residents murdered on 9/11. 

In Green Bay, Wisc., 9/11 memorial names are illegible due to sub-par building materials, which is found in many states around the country. 

In Brooklyn the Wall of Remembrance at a Park in Coney Island has been attacked by vandals. This is just a little in what is happening to mar the memories of that day of infamy. 

I find this totally appalling and a disgrace. I think more must be done to protect these monuments which will keep the memory alive. 

If not, then the fallen will be forgotten!
