Anthony,
I am coming very late to this but I wish to offer another perspective. A week ago, I was attending a reenactment on Rogers' Island. Twice-hallowed ground for me because (1) I am a hard-core LOTM fan and mohicanite (fan of the movie and this site) and (2) I am a totally dedicated reenactor in Rogers' Rangers. Rogers' Island is in the middle of the Hudson at Fort Edward. The Fort Edward we know and love from LOTM fame and American history. But you know what? Both areas are residential now. People's homes are on top of all that remains of these areas -- the dirt. Why? Because no one thought or wanted to build a memorial to save the LOCATION in history. If we don't have these memorials in NYC (and I live in Westchester Co., 18 miles N of Ground Zero) NOW, then this too will fade from our history. And that is not to be bourne. Thankfully, most people seem to want to be preserved as something other than just more offices and condos.
YHOS,
Pvt. Chauncey

Well, it's about time you wandered in here, Pvt. Chauncey.
Long patrol?
Glad to see you back.
I'm with you on this one. I was born in NYC, spent the first five years of my life there, watched my father commute there for the rest of his working life, and have lived a stone's throw away most of my own adult life. (I watched the towers burn from the top of the building I was working in last year.)
I'm very sympathetic, I think, to New Yorkers' feelings about this--rebuilding, biger and better, "showing them" and so forth.
The thing is, I don't think that land belongs just to New York any more. It belongs to the nation, and in a sense to the world.
You're right, there are enough offices in New York. And I'm perfectly happy to see the Empire State as the tallest building there.
I'd like to see the land purchased by the nation to become a national park and memorial.
Something very low-key, with a lot of green.
~~Aim small, miss small. |

Agreed!!!
And it sounds as if that may just be the plan ... including that cross of fallen steel girders.
You know, I remember standing in The Alamo chapel ... being overwhelmed by emotion ... and crying. I remember walking up toward The Angle at Gettysburg, standing in the very spot that a NC Regiment approached just before they were decimated by close range cannister blasts ... being overwhelmed by emotion ... and crying. I remember, too, standing in the pre-dawn darkness at Lexington Green, during the annual reenactment ... being overwhelmed by emotion ... and crying. I cannot fathom the emotion I will feel when I stand before the Twin Towers monument ... yet, I will be - like I was to The Alamo & The Angle & Lexington Green - drawn there for reasons I don't fully understand...

On that date, I was in the same place where I was on 19 April 1995. In my patrol car and on my beat when the news came across the radio. When I heard that the first plane hit, I thought it was an accident, but when the second struck I knew we were under attack. Once it was determined what animals attacked us, more than ever I wished I was ten years younger, 40 lbs. lighter and with my old squadmates from my last trip to the sandbox. As we used to say "Payback is a medivac!, Hooo-Yahhhhh!!!"
