      With all of the BS government funded things out there, you’d think they’d cover the expenses.

      Please do not make this political , this is a personal human remembrance that we as fellow Americans need to respect and continue to care about.

      Not political at all. I was just saying that out of all the things the government throws money at to keep them afloat, this should be included; sorry if you took it any other way than that.

      Bringing up a Government comment is 100% political. Stop for a minute and ask yourself if this is something you should contribute to , it is not the government’s responsibility it is ours as members of the human race to show compassion and honor to those who were lost or still suffer.

      I’ve donated $1,000/year to it since I was 18 years old.

      I’m not sure how we got off on the wrong foot with this Bill, but sorry my comment ruffled some feathers.

      No problem , just a situation where there are many still suffering from the attacks in NY,PA, and DC , and this is a simple public announcement to members who may not have seen the news on the Museum. I believe that should be the only focus. Thanks for contributing in the past and currently.

      I was shocked to find out the other day that the 9/11 Memorial and Museum may have to close due to financial conditions. Since their main revenue is ticket sales and tourists have been almost non existent during the Pandemic, the Memorial has a drastic shortage of funds. There are many of members in the New York Metroplex who had friends, relatives, who were severely affected by this tragedy in US History. They, along with the rest of the Country can not , shall not, forget the horrid damage to lives and the continuing illnesses many First Responders or those close to the destruction suffer under. For years many Viper Owners banded together to help with a parade in remembrance to those lost or still suffering. I was frustrated when the TV Station posted about this issue but failed to list the website or mailing address , so I am listing it below for everyone.

      Not specifically Viper related , but something that affected all of us and we can not ever forget!!
