So the question becomes - "How much land is enough land and should land be seized to build a park to honor the American Spirit?
I am not sure how the total land area overlays what I saw when I was last there. There isn't much across the road but the old stip-mine. Must be talking about the property beyond the actual crash-site (where the fence and the flag are).
