One woman who lost a son was quoted in the Post article.. She said, “To me, it’s the crassest, most insensitive thing to have a commercial enterprise at the place where my son died”…
WE have all seen these gifts, whether it's in your local thrift shop or on the corner being sold by a street vendor. Some has been ...ok.. others? Nah.
Be proud, US of A. Tacky is America. Come on, we still sing "Proud to be an American" more often than the national anthem.. no matter what Lee Greenwood did, he made a bundle off of the weird emotions of Gulf War I ..

In fairness, it's a debt so high that overpriced ground zero hoodies will never pay back..
But tacky?
Yes. Corporations know a thing or two about that.
