The $150 million 4 flights a day John Murtha Johnstown Airport is to be renamed "The John Murtha Memorial Airport."

Your Say

Heh, as the saying goes.

I was there on a business trip some time ago, and used the word "memorial" about something named for Murtha. My companion replied, "Well, we could wish."

There will very likely be a lot of things in Cambria County with the word "memorial" inserted in the name, then, after a decent interval, a new name put on them. His family very likely loved him. Not many of his constituents did, including the ones who voted for him every time.

Two proverbs:

1. Speak no ill of the dead.

2. Where there is death, there is hope.

I read somewhere that his passing had something to do with his gall...

They should make it an international airport. Then they would need a customs facility. Man that 24/7.

The added staff would give a small but needed boost to the local economy.

Oh, make the airport a new state too. Or at least let it an imaginary congressional district. Like those where the stimulus has created imaginary jobs.

It might as well be called the Murtha Mausoleum.

No doubt that about $100 million will be appropriated to pay for changing the signage.
