About three years before 9/11, my family went to New York. The image locked in my head is of the skyline as I saw from the top of the Statue of Liberty, of the iconic buildings draped in a blanket of fog, and the Twins rising into what seemed infinity. Years later, knowing that view would never be the same is too upsetting to think about. The Twins were not just buildings, they were icons tragically taken from us. My family lost a dear friend/family member in the attacks, and he along with the others who were lost, if alive would surely want us to keep carrying on, to remember the past but also keep striving to the future. And in this time, there is no better way to do this then the Twin Towers, built exactly as I and many, and surely the lost, would remember them.”
