Project 2,996
http://project2996.com

Project 2,996 is an online initiative to get people to learn about--and remember--the victims of 9/11.

But most important, it's a way to remember their lives and not the terrible, public way they were taken from us.

Project 2,996

Project 2,996 Over the next couple days we'll be updating the list with new / corrected inks. And even though we fell short of 2,996, we're going to combine the lists from all 4 years and then we'll keep getting tributes for those who have fallen through the cracks. Thank you all...especially Jennifer Taylor, Cathy Schmidt and Katie Favazza for all their help behind the scenes.

I've seen some of the tributes and instead of a fan, I'd like to help out. But I have a private blog, so where do we put the tributes?

Project 2,996 Project 2996'ers. I could use some assistance. As you are going through the list of Participants and reading their tributes, if you come across someone who does not have a remembrance, will you please let me know? I think the best way to do it is to leave a note here- Just list the Participant #. Thank you. -Cathy

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Project 2,996 Pretty cool. We now have 608 fans. How many tributes have you read? I have no idea how many I have read. I've been through about a 1/3 of a box of tissue... -Cathy

Oh the tributes are wonderful. I wish I had realized there was a way for non-bloggers to participate. I will do this next year.
Thank you all for taking the time and effort. It is a worthy and honorable effort.

Well done Sarah. I know Dale randomly assigns names. I find it such a coincidence that you were given 2 souls to remember from Cantor Fitzgerald- 3 years apart. That company took such a huge blow, but they have really done justice in memorializing those that were lost.

Project 2,996 Dale posted on his FB page he has gone through over 700 emails today. I'm going to try and help him in getting some of the posts organized and posted. On the Participants page there is a corresponding number to the names assigned to you. Going forward, if you leave your URL here, also include your corresponding number.

Heather, I stand corrected and thank you that much more.
Karla, you are right- it is our responsibility.
The process of doing research is gut wrenching and quite an emotional endeavor.

I look forward to reading about the souls you will remember. ... Read More
