I am very honored this year to participate in Project 2,996 to remember the victims of September 11th.
I am writing a tribute to a person I never knew or never met, who lost his life eight years ago on that horrific day. The goal of Project 2,996 is to have all 2,996 innocent victims honored and remembered for their lives. From their blog:
9/11/09 will mark 8 years since the attacks of World Trade Center I and II, The Pentagon, Shanksville, American Airlines Flights 11 & 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 & 175.
On that day 2,996 people were ripped from their lives. But as the media and society tend to do, they have focused on the killers. We’ve all learned more about them than we wanted to. On that day many of us made a pledge to never forget what happened.
The bloggers… are trying to keep that promise by learning about the people who died that day.
On Friday morning I will have my tribute to a man whose life ended just as it was begining. I am devoting the time I have this week for blogging to writing his tribute.
Project 2,996 has about a thousand bloggers signed up to honor a victim. If you can help remember a victim you can sign up here.
