Due to the few thousand civilians, emergency service members, military workers, and other general people that were victims on 9/11, the U.S. Government has been working hard and has almost completely finished building the 9/11 Memorial at the WTC Ground Zero site in New York. They are expected to finish and officially open on 9/11/2011, the tenth anniversary of the attacks. As a result of their memorial construction process, they have placed plates around memorial fountain pools, complete with large waterfalls, around the perimeter of where the WTC's Twin Towers once stood. In addition, the 9/11 Memorial website has put up a complete list of known names that were listed around the pools in alphabetical order by last name. For those interested in seeing the names, you can find them here:
http://www.911memorial.org/names-memorial-0One that really bothered me, (just browsing through the list of the some-odd 3,000 or so names), stood out to me because it listed a woman's name and "her unborn child". Thinking about all the terror, fear, and sadness that resulted from those attacks nearly 10 years ago, I never would have thought that even those yet to come into this world were killed that day. I just hope the world will change some day soon, because otherwise we will either finally fix our problems after a massively-devastating worldwide incident leaving many dead, or we will annihilate each other and cease to exist altogether on this planet. Please, we are the next defining generation of people in this world, I beg of you...try not to make the same mistakes people in the past have. There's no reason for this kind of stuff to be happening, and I'm not just referring to 9/11, or terrorist attacks, but killing each other in general. We call ourselves human, yet we treat each other far less than humane every day...
