Piestewa Peak campaign still stirs emotions

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2003

Patrick Perez: "I will not wait for a name change. I don't have to, and also I could be waiting forever. When I drive by Piestewa Peak, I will think of Pfc. Lori Piestewa and say thank you."

Charlie Buttermann: "I don't mean to show any disrespect to Pfc. Lori Piestewa's family or friends, but many Arizonans have lost their lives in service of country. All should be honored."
