Some things

need to be remembered...
I read about this before. Cindy Swanson makes a point, too, in her blog, Notes in the Key of Life.
I feel bad at the moment, but thinking of 9/11 makes my problems look small(er).
I signed up at 2,996: A Tribute to the Victims of 9/11 to find out I am only the 3100th blogger to do so.
Steven R. Strauss, 51, Fresh Meadows, N.Y. is assigned to me. I sure honor him.

"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."

On Monday, the 2.996th name was assigned, but if you didn't sign up, check the site for other ways that you can remember the victims on 9/11.

Because some things need to be remembered."

On the site you´ll find this:
"I remember a story on CNN that showed a Volkswagen Plant in Germany, where each employee brought a candle and placed it in the factory's entryway. I was staggered at the scenes of foreigners openly weeping. The closing visual of thousands of candles burning on the marble floor left me speechless."

I was there in that area, too, but couldn´t be with them (my customer), didn´t see the candles - I was in one of the offices, right in that complex. We had no tv, only internet. We thought at first this was a terrible joke. We had a huge lack of information. Our company called us. The secretary´s daughter was some place in New York at that time (she wasn´t involved!). My colleague had relatives in that area - he called them, they were fine. CNN only displayed one site, not giving enough information. N24 and other german sites had no information on the internet, either. We felt numb. The whole place (nearly 50.000 people working there!!) was so quiet.

Yes. The world sure looked upon the tragedy. The day had just begun over here when it happened. When I (had to see) saw the horrible scenes on tv in the evening I still could not believe it. I have never been yet to the United States. I don´t know anybody over there in person but felt so sick as if I was involved somehow.
So many horrible things can be done. I read a book upon biological weapons, how very easy it is to create the hugest damage. That´s scary, so scary. I will never ever understand why people(s) have to get against each other in such horrible ways. I will never understand why the more information we can get about each other the less people respect and understand each other.

It´s hard to "only" honor the victims and not to hate the murderers. But I will try. Because the murderers do not deserve remembrance.
