Entry: 2,996: A Tribute to the Victims of 9/11 Saturday, August 05, 2006



The 2,996 Project

For some people, it's about the numbers: 4 planes. 4 targets. 2,996 victims. 4 years and 10 months. 1,763 days. 42,312 hours. 2,538,720 minutes. For others, it's about the people.

9/11 has left many people with scars. Some with ragged son-shaped or daughter-shaped scars left on their hearts. And most of us were scarred seeing our own country, our own citizens, attacked so suddenly and so viciously.  I was not affected personally by 911 but others were not so lucky.

2,996 Project is seeking 2,996 volunteers to pay tribute to the victims of 911 on September 11, 2006.  If you would like to pay tribute to a victim of 911, you will need to sign up on or before September 11 here.   So far 1309 people have signed up, 1687 are still needed to reach the goal of 2,996. 

Please note:  The project starts September 11.  When you sign up you will be assigned a victim to pay tribute to, you will not post the tribute (below) onto your blog until September 11.
