3 year Memorial Quilt

On January 6, 2004, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation announced its selection of a single design for a memorial at the World Trade Center site: "Reflecting Absence" by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. Two large “voids” -- cascading pools sunken thirty feet into the footprints of the Twin Towers -- form the centerpiece of the design, which also incorporates extensive landscaping in the plaza surrounding the voids and calls for the creation of an underground center to house 9/11 artifacts and a cultural facility at the intersection of Fulton and Greenwich Streets. The names of those who died on 9/11 will be listed on low parapets around each pool -- in random order but with indicators beside those who were rescue workers.

This photo is from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.
