I’m taking part in this extremely worthwhile project this year. It’s my first year, and I’m gratified to be able to remember one of the victims of bloodthirsty, scumsucking terrorists. They will not be forgotten.
I will be remembering Bernard Mascarenhas.
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 leave a comment here 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 peoplekind 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 remembered2,996 people.
I will remember. I will celebrate life that day. And I will not allow terrorist scum befoul the memories of the victims.
If you’re a blogger, I urge you to join.
