I vote for Kent State National Guard Marksmanship Range.
Or “A celebration of American Technology-The Manhatten Project” in Hiroshima
Puh-lease :::eyeroll:::
Its all in fun, wanna play?
Step one: Take a horrific moment in history were many died at the hand of a deluded few.
Step two: Name something that could be erected at the site that should be acceptable, but strikes a nerve.
Islam had nothing to do with 9/11.

A Weber BBQ museum at Dachau?
-
Saddam Hussein’s WMDs
-
The 205 communists who were working in the State Department in 1950
