2996

Thanks to the June Cleaver Diaries, I found a very very worthwhile project to take part in. You should do the same... J.C. described it perfectly, so I will just quote her:

A blogger named D. Challener Roe is putting together a project to remember the victims of September 11th, 2001. His goal is to find 2996 people who would each be willing to post a tribute on September 11, 2006 about one person killed in the terrorist attacks.

It's easy to get involved. Just click the banner on this page, and email Mr. Roe. He'll send you the name of one person who died on 9/11. On September 11, 2006, you should post a poem, a picture, an essay, whatever you want, in honor of that person.

Mr. Roe is not making any money off of this project. He simply wants people to remember those who died on 9/11. I'm not sure how many participants he has, but I know he doesn't yet have enough bloggers to post about all of the victims. So, if you're interested, contact him, get involved and help spread the word.

This is a great project, a great way to remember, and I highly encourage you to click on the banner to the left. Mr. Roe is almost up to a 1000, so he's getting there... but he could definitely use your help!! My honoree is Noel J. Foster, 40, Bridgewater, N.J. who was vice president and producing broker at Aon Corp. He was killed in the World Trade Center.

If you don't think you can participate for whatever reason, then I hope you'll help me out by leaving some comments with ideas for how I could honor Mr. Foster this Sept. 11th. I can do it however I want... through pictures, words, ideas... so let me know what you think!
