As the Holidays approach, I think it is timely for all of us to visit this site once again http://attacked911.tripod.com/ and reflect on how many people will not have a Happy Holiday because of the events of 9/11/01.
The real reason I am posting is to see what your feelings are about "Ground Zero" now. We have gone for a few days without any controversy over who can be there or what is being found. My question is, at what point do we make this "sacred ground" a shrine to those who we have lost there?
Just like our National Battlefields and Pearl Harbor, do you think it is proper to make the site of the World Trade Center a place where all Americans can go to honor those who lost their lives there? Before someone gets the wrong idea, this is not thought of in a morbid sense, but rather out of resepct for those lost and for our Country.
Along with this, considering the financial damage this has done to the City, do you think it would be appropriate to consider New York as a possible vacation destination for the coming year? I have not really made any plans yet, but I am drawn to the idea that by going to NYC and spending my vacation dollars there, I might in some way be helping the City in returning to normal.
