Nine, Eleven... 2,996 ... numbers for the 21st century
24 Canadians lost in the twin towers, 9/11, linked to their tributes from the 2996 Project, lest we forget:
H/T to JYC for the list (You know who you are. Thank you.)
Maybe after Jack Layton and the rest of the NDP children finish strutting around being sanctimonious, pompous, and just plain stupid in Quebec City, they can take a moment to look at that picture. Taken 15 minutes after the first tower came down.
15 minutes later, they were gone too.
The terror and the horror of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, can never be allowed to fade. There is no negotiation, no appeasement of ideologies that can erase or legitimize the actions of terrorists that day. The 24 Canadians lost, and the 2,972 others representing 90 nations of the world, bear silent witness to the fight that must be fought.
Afghanistan, Jack. There's a reason why Canadians are there.
Take the time to browse the links and reflect on 9/11. Do take the time.
For everyone else who understands why we fight for democracy and freedom, who dares to be reminded of the reason for the iconic phrase "9/11", the sites below offer an especially poignant journey back...
THE BLACK DAY
Dedicated to the Men and Women...
FDNY -Blood of Heroes
The first, a photographic memorial, the others, video tributes worthy of viewing... Lengthy. Bring a hanky.
Regardless of your perspective on MM, Michelle Malkin has an expanding remembrance underway on her site, as does Pajamas Media.
World Trade Center, The Pentagon, Flight 11, Flight 175,
Flight 77, Flight 93
... is a web effort to recognize and honour each of the victims of 9/11. 3,013 people have signed up to prepare a tribute to each one of the 9/11 souls lost to the tragedy. Browse the list to know the real loss. I am pleased to say that I have confirmed all of the links to the Canadian tributes now. A very heartfelt thank you for all of those in the 2996 Project who took the time to care, and participate. The tributes are to remain on their hosts site until Midnight September 11, 2006. I hope that perhaps those that can, will leave them a bit longer so that family and friends may have an opportunity to find them. God bless you all.

In remembering Roy Santos, I posted a tribute to him at http://www.binaryblonde.com/node/1811.
He was the victim that I received from the 2,996 Project and shall sorely be missed.
Binary, thank you for letting me know - when I checked before I didn't see it. Thank you, very much, for caring enough to participate in the project.
