2074th (out of 2996)!

Some of you may have noticed that I just changed the title of my blog to a less obnoxious (more grown-up) one...simply by eliminating the "mofo." I have a very good reason...

I finally signed up to participate in Project 2,996: A Tribute to Victims of 9/11. On September 11, 2006, I will be honoring Mr. Moises N. Rivas by posting a tribute to this young man, who passed away in the World Trade Center on that unforgetable day.

I hope you will join me and the hopefully 2996+ others by honoring a victim on September 11, 2006.

From the creator of this project:

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 [sign up on the website 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.

Thank you,

D.Challener Roe

P.S. Many thanks to my BSILF for giving me and others the courage to do this!

I am so glad you are participating in Project 2996. I think we will make a difference by honoring those whose lives were ended too quickly. I can't wait to read your post.
