An idea for an appropriate memorial

Someday, and I hope very soon, there will be a new "World Trade Center" built on the exact site of the old and I feel some kind of memorial to the lost should be a part of the new structure.

So, how about this:

You go to the trade center and get in the elevator. As you ride floor to floor, you begin to notice a large marble plaque at each landing. And on each plaque are the names of the people who were lost from that particular floor in the old tower. Whatchathink?

I like the idea. We will never forget. We will never relinquish.

I do not support indiscriminate bloodshed. I am glad you understand my point. Forgive me if I offended you brother, if my words to you were harsher than necessary. I mean this with my heart, not being sarcastic. You and I are on the same wavelength. God bless.

IMHO, a fitting memorial would be to convert the land into some kind of National Park.

No matter how stylish the architecture, commercial real estate is not an appropriate memorial.

In fact, it's kind of tacky.
