8. WTC Memorial
Edited on Mon Oct-13-03 07:30 AM by RatTerrier
I've always thought that the best memorial (and one that many of the victims themselves - althought I couldn't speak for them) is to rebuild the WTC in some form. And show the terrorists that they can't kill the American spirit.

A fitting, low key rememberance to the victims should be there. But I'd hate to see yet another black wall with names on it ala the Vietnam War Memorial. I just think that idea has been played out.

A memorial should not be tacky, and must be low key. But build those towers back taller and mightier than before. That's the ultimate memorial.
