Project 2996

Project 2996 is an online event that I participated in a few years back where bloggers and website owners write a entry about someone who lost their life during the September 11th terrorist attacks.


Ideally, 2996 people would take part in this event and each pick a person to write about, however this year they are very short on writers. I urge everyone who reads my blog to check out this site and write about someone. If you don't feel up to this task, please advertise Project 2996 on your blog so that word gets out. 


This event is purely about remembering those who lost their life and I would hate to think that by Sunday, there aren't 2996 people taking part. 


"The tributes should celebrate the lives of these people–kind of like a wake. Over the last 10 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."
