Story here. Excerpt:

'A group is seeking $500,000 in donations to build a unique park at the Fort Douglas Military Museum in honor of female veterans.

Utah Military Veterans Advisory Committee chairwoman Su Richards said several women in her group came up with the idea because they felt females needed a memorial of their own.

"They were getting the respect but not the honor," said Richards, a research archivist at the museum. "As near as I can tell, there are very few memorials for women that have bronzes."

Sculptor Jerime Hooley will create two life-sized bronze sculptures. One will feature four women in different period uniforms running across a map of the United States. A second piece will depict a World War II nurse and a "woman warrior" lacing up her combat boots, Richards said. Workers will also build a gazebo for the memorial.'

We have memorials to honor the men and women of combat. It's not equal until we have one that honors only women. A good symbol of how our society functions these days. What's mine is mine and what's yours is ours.

A 4 foot bronze tampax?

Certainly not a chick raising a flag amidst a hail of lead.

Whiny bitches.
