Their names were listed together, because they all died together. >>>

OK, that makes sense. But then again, most died on the same day at the same time. don't know any easy solution, it's become very PC.

It's really a shame that these victim's families have to deal with this. When the Vietnam Memorial was created there had been more time for the pain to soften since the war, though honestly I don't recall at all if there was much ado about how to order the names. Now these WTC attack families are having to deal with this right in the middle of a war that was largely a direct result of the attacks. It's just tragic in every respect.

I guess that if they wanted to list the names by the floor and office number that they worked in that would be OK with me. So that just as with that helicopter crewman that I met at the VN Memorial who lost his whole crew, where he was able to see their names all in a row, someone who lost their co-workers at the WTC could see them all together on the wall.

I guess that no matter which way it goes, there's going to be lots of hand wringing about it. God Bless those people. I wish them peace and justice!
