Zack Woodard * 2/6/2019
I was only two years old on the day of 9/11, and believe it or not, I can remember seeing it on tv that day. I had always been in awe at the towers, but it was not until I was in High School I did a report on them. I had to study the whole World Trade Center Complex and that is when I fell in love with the towers. It’s so sad how much people overlook about them! They were a city within a city. New York seemed to be a much happier place when they were around. I am so in love with the towers that I visit the St.Louis airport terminal, which was designed by the same architech who designed the towers. Many people say that the terminal has a similar feel to the lobby of the original towers. I was so awe struck by that. We need the towers back!

If you have already signed and would like to change categories, please re-submit your signature, using the same e-mail address. As soon as your new signature is confirmed via e-mail, the old one will be deleted. Note that you will have to retype your comment, if you left one. This method could also be used to correct typos made in a previous comment.

Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition's purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you.

Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we have highlighted excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. We rarely do that now and it was never a methodical effort, but just a window on public opinion regarding this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case that the public was sidelined on something that mattered so much.

TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology. If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn't activated, or it is made using a different email address, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will delete the earlier entry and, if it was verified, verify the new one, since the clear intention is to make the new comment visible. We may decide to manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message.

Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one's full name is always preferred, but when a name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private.

* Indicates that the signer has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software. They are included out of respect for the sincerity of the comments.
