2,996

I heard about 2,996 on AbbaGav's Blog.
I signed up, when will you?

2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
We will honor them by remembering
their lives, and not by remembering their murderers.
If you would like to
help out, either by pledging to post a tribute on your own
blog, or by offering
your services to promote this cause, just leave a
comment here and I’ll email
you the name of a victim.
Then, on 9/11/2006,
you will post a tribute to that
victim on your blog.
But, and this is
critical, the tributes should celebrate
the lives of these people–kind of
like a wake. Over the last 5 years we’ve heard
the names of the killers, and
all about the victim’s deaths. This is a chance to
learn about and celebrate
those who died. Forget the murderers, they don’t
deserve to be remembered.
But some people who died that day deserve to be
remembered–2,996
people.
