One day five years ago, 2996 people woke up in the morning, expecting another ordinary day... They didn't ask to become victims or heroes. They were just people, like you and I. But at the end of that day they only lived on in the memories of their loved ones and the collective memory of a nation who vowed "never to forget." Here are some of the people who members of Cotillion were honored to give tribute:
Great round-up Jody! Doing the pictures like that is excellent, and took a lot more work for you!
Thanks for doing this.

Posted by: Carol at September 11, 2006 06:25 PMThank you for your contribution to the memorials. So many people were killed that sometimes, for me who did not lose a single friend, they run together. The tributes have helped make them individuals again. They are no longer the 9/11 victims, but Kevin and Michael and Raymond...
I remember Laura Gilly.
