With words from the heart, poems and a stirring photo, people yesterday began sharing on the Internet their memories and thoughts about 9/11 with us - and with generations to come.
A sister honoring her lost brother and a Japanese student hoping for world peace were among the first to have their reflections posted on the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation's www.buildthememorial.org site.
One entry, a stunning photo submitted by Danny Daly, was taken Sept. 11, 2005, of the two soaring light beams inspired by the Twin Towers.
Sharon S. wrote movingly about how at services for her brother Gary, a 9/11 victim, their brother Mike broke down.
"He said he felt he let Gary down because on Sept. 11 he wasn't there to 'look after' his brother," Sharon said.
In halting English, Fumikazu Nishiyama, 20, says that he is an architecture student in Japan and that the terrorist attacks saddened him "because I know we all people on the earth can't live peaceful and in harmony."
