Where's Sisko's statue?

[WarpTenLizard]

Watch the TNG episode where Scotty is retrieved from a transporter buffer after 75 years, and you'll soon see why Sisko isn't getting his due either. Apparently people in Starfleet love to praise Captain Kirk and Ambassador Spock, but none of the other heroes of Starfleet. (Suddenly, it's believable that Spock had an adopted sister who saved the universe that we never heard of...)

We (Star Trek fans in New Orleans) have a Change.org petition to the City of New Orleans to support a statue of Sisko. If you would like to see one, please sign up build momentum for the effort. https://www.nationalreview.com/maga...tent=featured-content-trending&utm_term=third

So, is Dublin going to put up a statue to the Chief?

He is listed as being from Killarney not Dublin.
The actor and the accent are very Dublin though

I signed the petition.

Captain Benjamin Sisko is my favorite captain for a multitude of reasons, but one outshines them all.

He is an excellent example of a good father. White, black, Asian, latin, Indian, orange, non-humanoid... doesn't matter. Every man can learn from him.

^You mean every human?

LOL. Of course, this was just an article I was reading. It's interesting but has zip to do with the petition

I wonder how many planets other than Earth have tributes to Our Heroes.

Riker may have children all over the galaxy.

One of the reasons the Kirk and Janeway statues made sense is that they are in small towns desperate for tourist attention.

New Orleans gets a lot of tourists, but there's not much for the non-geek portion to do.

Even so, Sisko was one of Trek's best heroes, certainly its most well-rounded. Father and son, hero and antihero, skeptic and believer, widower and lover and husband. He was fiercely proud of his race and heritage, but he was a hero all humanity can admire. So yes, I'd say he rates a statue.

We could put the statue in Voyager's transporter room, where he was born. Or would Sickbay, where he died, be more appropriate?

 

[DonIago]

Why not both?

 

[Oddish]

One will do. I say the transporter room.
