This September names will be unveiled at the National September 11th Memorial in New York City. The names of those killed in 1993. The names of those killed at the Pentagon, in Pennsylvania and at the Twin Towers themselves will line the pools that mark the buildings footprints.
It isn’t an uncommon way to memorialize those we lose too soon. The Vietnam Memorial and The National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC as well as the Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial in Colorado all list the names of those who have sacrificed their lives for us.
But, the memorial at what was Ground Zero has expanded on that idea. Joe Daniels, President of the
National September 11 Memorial & Museum, “This memorial, that we are opening on the 10th anniversary, is designed in a way that’s different than any other memorial that’s ever been built in the world.”
