Five years ago I signed up with the 2,996 project in which bloggers were assigned one of those who died on 9/11 to remember. I was given Aram Iskendarian. Aram was 41 the day he died. He was a vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald, where he headed the global risk management group. That day he would have been working on the 101st floor of building 1. He was a photo bug and took many pictures of his family which included wife Sheri (whom he had met when he was 15 in high school) and his four children Meryl, Kara, Alex and Jason. Visit my post on Aram here. He is just one out of 2,996 who will be memorialized today.
Take a moment sometime today to remember them.

Thank you for helping us remember Aram.
God bless America.
It was the pall that hung for weeks over the city . We lived in a world with the smell of burnt toast mingled with pictures of lost loved ones pasted at every subway entrance. Then one day the smell was gone as if what was there suddenly disappeared. Soon though, a day or two later, it was back. There was that same burnt toast at Bunker Hill and Saratoga, Shiloh and Gettysburg, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, Inchon Korea, and Ground Zero New York City.
Thank you Curt.
CURT, yes, we will not forget those life lost, by haters of AMERICA,a good man, among the other,
thank you
Thanks Curt. I realize this is a day late. I went to a ceremony in the next town over. This year they planted a tree in the memory of 39 area residents who were murdered on 9/11 many of whom were just going about their daily routine and getting in a days work.
The Ceremony in itself of course was solemn, but the worse came for me when they started playing Amazing Grace on the Bag Pipes for those area residents….and all the others who were… …murdered…
They say time heals all wounds, I used to believe that until this happened…
