Urgent Message from Vito Fossella Dear Fellow Staten Islanders, Please join us for a peaceful gathering near Rescue 5’s Memorial Garden, which is located on Clove Road between Targee Street and Richmond Road, at 1:30 p.m. this Sunday, September 5, 2010 to speak out on the proposed mosque to be built near Ground Zero. In attendance will be Congressman Peter King, Senator Andrew Lanza, Assemblyman Louis Tobacco, Councilman James Oddo, as well as our fellow citizens, many of whom lost loved ones, a friend or neighbor on that tragic day, September 11, 2001. Staten Island lost more sons and daughters on that day than any other community. It has been our solemn duty, responsibility, and frankly a privilege to honor the memory for those who lost their life nearly 9 years ago. We must continue to honor those memories and to never forget them. Recently there have been efforts made to construct a mosque near Ground Zero. This proposal has met with tremendous opposition, not only throughout New York City, but across the country as well. We believe that this is not the right location. Just because something may be permitted, does not mean that it’s the right thing to do. So let’s gather this Sunday and speak, which is our right and the right thing to do to continue to honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Sincerely, Vito J.
