4th of July Weekend
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
June 30 – July 4, 2006
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
We will honor them by remembering their lives, and not by remembering their murderers.
If you would like to help out, either by pledging to post a tribute on your own blog, or by offering your services to promote this cause, just leave a comment here and I’ll email you the name of a victim.
Then, on 9/11/2006, you will post a tribute to that victim on your blog.
I have signed up and have received the name of the person I will be writing a tribute for on September 11th. There were 2,996 people murdered in the 9/11 attacks, it’s going to take 2,996 bloggers to write a tribute to them all.
If you would like to participate just click on the links below. There is a list of bloggers participating and instructions about how you can participate.
I think this is worth doing.
