The September 11 tragedy produced a huge outpouring of grief and anger over
the loss of loved ones who perished in the tragedy. Much has also been said in
honor of the people who dedicated their lives to protect and save the people
from the tragedy. America is still slowly healing, but we should not forget our
loved ones who passed on.

To date, hundreds of web sites have sprung up as virtual memorials and tributes
to the 9-11 tragedy. Some featured poetry and song, others featured quilts,
while still others still expressed grief over the loss of their loved ones.
These virtual tributes will still remain as reminders of those we lost to the
tragedy, the courageous people who gave their lives in service, and our unity
as a nation.

The purpose of the World Trade Center Commemoration project is to honor the
people who lost their lives as a result of the tragic events that unfolded on
September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
The surviving families will be presented with a World Trade Center or Pentagon
memorial in memory of their loved one.
These events have forever changed the face of this nation and the thousands of
families whose lives were shattered. We must never forget the individuals who
paid the ultimate price for the ideals of this nation.
Our Mission is to unite our fellow humanitarians at a local, regional,
national and international level for the purpose of honoring our fallen friends
and to ensure that their memory is never forgotten.

The New York Times featured profiles of people who perished in the September 11
tragedy called Portraits of Grief. December 3, 2001 brought the final daily
edition of Portraits of Grief. As more names become known and more families
agree to interviews, the newspaper's editors will publish additional profile
pages from time to time. The section will remain on NYTimes.com indefinitely.
A hardcover book of the portraits, with biographies that appeared through Feb.
3, is available from Times Books/Henry Holt. Profits go to The Times's 9/11
Neediest Fund.
