Nope.....I just happen to have the plate and get asked about it all the time.....I lost a relative in the tower. Never met him but he had my same last name which is very rare in the US....

My wife and I got together two years ago, so I'm probably taking her out this evening.

Working on this day for the first time since 2001. Really don't want to be here and going out for an expense account lunch..
The city and the trains are half empty, the way it should be. They had a nice memorial service at Penn Station, then got caught in a windy downpour. I am sitting here with steam coming off me... ![]() |

Some introspection and quiet remembrance.
I was going to go rent an airplane for an hour today as a show of solidarity against the terrorists who shut down our airspace system 8 years ago, but I'm tied up going to the D23 Expo today. Wearing my flag pin though. Proudly.

I'm going to HOPE and PRAY that the amateur in the White House finally gets an understanding TODAY of why our boys are fighting over there. At least for as long
as they will still let us pray in this country. NO, I have nothing against a BLACK president, bit I do have problems with his being GREEN about everything. |

Wondering why Ground Zero hasn't been rebuilt yet.

Ditto.
I'm tired of the "who" and the "why." Let's get on with the "when" will something be put in place of the WTC towers.

They should rebuild the WTC exactly as it was, but make the towers one story taller and put the memorial on the top floor of one of them. Maybe line the floor with pages from the Koran.

It's unbelievable that nothing has been done, and all because of infighting and politics. Meanwhile, every day there is a massive hole in the ground, the fundamentalists and terrorists celebrate their now eight-year-old victory.

That is exactly what I have been saying since the day after this terrible tragedy. Today is a somber day for myself and those around me. We lost quite a few friends, people with whom I did business with and relatives. I am crying inside and it shows in my dark mood today. My firm held three contracts for the WTC buildings and we had a sattelite office there. Thankfully we were all out of the building that day on another project. Two of my coworkers were just pulling up to the WTC when the first plane hit. The tale is too gruesome to tell. Tonight I'll going to raise a glass to all who perished and hope they are in the Lord's care. God Bless them and their families.
