As a former infantryman, I would like to say that rebuilding the Twin Towers to specification (or taller) would severely demoralize our enemies while uplifting the spirit and morale of Americans, as well as freedom loving people everywhere. Imagine the triumph of seeing our beloved NYC skyline restored even better than before. It is what the Greeks of antiquity would have done after such an horrific act. We must do this.

This shouldn’t even be a question. Those towers were such a part of the city. I’ve seen the architectural proposals and heard some very impressive interviews with people who were victims of the devastation on 9/11 who are for the towers coming back. I agree.

This tragedy has bruised my soul and my heart goes out to all the heroes that day inside of that building. I joined the US Army because I wanted to show support to the victims of 9/11. I wish that we could go back in time and stop this tragedy from ever happening, but who am I kidding time travel will never be possible, and God lets things happen for a reason. I hope that every American has learned something from this tragedy. I will never forget that day and the heroes in those towers.
For the families and friends and military members…. We will rebuild. My uncle which is a firefighter for the Red Hook Brooklyn NY Happy Hookers watched the towers fall. For those whom we have lost, we will never forget u. I have proof that I will never forget and neither will my children. HOOAH WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

I thought from the beginning that the towers should be built bigger and better. Make it the tallest in the world, have radar and plane tracking and communications to identify, have battery missle and detterance. Make the towers the most valuable businness center in the world, put lights on top for brilliance and tracking spotlight and laser guided missles. If there will be an attack, they will attack anything in a city. Lets show these terrorists who’s boss. Lets start using lasar guided missles, drones

The Twin Towers should be rebuilt!!!! Anything less shows our lack of resolve. The families of the people that died that day are much more in support of the Twin Towers than the Freedom Tower. Their voices deserve to be heard and acted upon.

Send them back up – one story higher! These buildings are iconic to the American psyche. Their image saturates our culture in movies and images and every time we see them, our collective unhealed wound aches. No other building would serve to heal that wound.
Some argue that rebuilding them would be disrespectful to the victims. I of course can’t speak for the victims but I can only assume that if they could speak they too would have a varied opinion. We can’t please everyone.

I believe we should rebuild in memory of all the ones we lost but i think we should not get off 9/11 because it would look like we are a weak country but we do need to remember all the ones we lost.

I was 7 years old when my first visit to New York. I promised myself that I would one day live in New York. The reason I wanted to live in New York was because of all of the kind and caring people and I was absolutely amazed by the WTC. I joined the military to do something for the country and the least the country can do is rebuild so that those lost on 9/11 did not die in vain.

I’m contributing to the fight against terrorism abroad but we can not possibly win without an unconditional victory at home. Stepping up airport security, an increased defense budget, and the creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security are steps in the right direction. The final bayonet thrust of the war at home is the rebuilding of the Twin Towers EXACTLY as they once stood. Doing anything else disgraces the American dead and insults their families. Don’t let the terrorists succeed.

Rebuilding the twin towers will be the best possible memorial. It’s the only plan that shows the enemy that America will always bounce back…and better than before. Seven and a half years later jihadists are still using images of the towers falling for their own propaganda. Rebuilding the towers will take the recruiting effectiveness out of those images!

Build 2 120 story bld’s with an oversized pointed toed cowboy-boot atop each one, One to put up the ARSE of Binladen, and the other for the limp wristed, spineless “ohh we can’t do anything to hurt any ones feelings” piece of SHIP, pile-of-ticks, I mean politicians, Who are supposed to be representing US, Not some Third-World Barbarians Feelings… SSG T.

To rebuild the World Trade Center anything less than what it was before 9/11 would be a disgrace not only to all who were lost there, but to all New Yorkers, this entire Nation and the rest of the World. The Twin Towers were a symbol of strength, prosperity, freedom and peace for all the World. Not only should they be built identical to what they were before but, they should be one story taller with a massive memorial dedicated to all the people who lost their lives on this most tragic day.

I am a New Yorker and the wife of a veteran who served in Iraq. I was there the day the towers fell, and I feel that the towers should be rebuilt. This freedom tower is in my humble opinion, a mockery. For those who perished that day and those who continue to give their lives overseas, bring back the towers.

This plan to rebuild the twin towers is simply amazing. It encompasses a desire to remember those who fell that day as well as the drive to show the world that America will not stand by and let our strength, our prosperity, and our principles be infringed upon by any government or fanatical ideology. We should absolutely rebuild the towers and they should be taller! They should be looked at as a beacon of hope for a better world and a symbol of the tenacity of the American spirit.

All these years after 9-11, after all the lives sacrificed to stop the evil that brought down the towers we can’t let a hole in the skyline stand as a monument to the effectiveness of terrorism where once stood a proud monument to American hard work and ingenuity.
Rebuild the World Trade Center in it’s original form, obviously designed to withstand any unlikely future aircraft impact, but raise them one floor higher as an act of defiance against tyranny.

My brother was just deployed to Afghanistan (8/22/08) In early April me a my brother went to New Jersey to pick up a car I purchased on E-Bay, we had never been to New York we decided to fly into La Guardia airport, rent a car and pay our respects. 9/11 is the reason my bother joined the Army. We believe the Twin Towers should always be Twin Towers! I’ve followed the rebuilding online and I’ve never liked the current Freedom tower (or any single Tower scenario).This is why I signed this petition.

I am from upstate and I joined after sept. 11. I wonder why it is taking so long to rebuild in a major American city. After we have invaded and started rebuilding two foriegn countries. It’s a shame. Rebuild the twin towers.

Rebuild this grand icon of America’s (and the world’s) constant yearning for freedom and goodwill. The F. T. looks OK, but the spire that reduces actual “true” floor levels is cowardly and screams, “We’re scared that they’ll attack us again.” Also, the extra emphasis on the glass surface seems to say, “Those old towers just weren’t elegant enough,” which is insulting to our pride in USA’s rich architectural history. Finally, the name “Freedom” is redundant, as any US icon has freedom implied.

Every time we lose something, we strive to get better. why not do the same with the Twin Towers? Do not let the terrorists win, they wanted to change the great New York skyline and if we do not rebuild the Twins, they would have done so.

The single greatest monument to the victims of that tragic day would be the rebuilding of the twin towers. Bigger, better and stronger. The terrorists try to destroy our way of life. Lets show them that they can’t do that. If they knock us down, we’ll get right back up.Oorah!
