What is the Goal of Project 2996?

Project 2996 celebrates the lives of the September 11th victims viaonline tributes.

All of the victims where “real“ people and Project 2996 wants to see all them honored with a tibute by a real person.

By taking the time and energy to remember them we can keep them alive in our own memories. We can keep them alive for as long as we refuse to forget them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were all of the 2996 victims heroes?It‘s tough to admit, but the victims almost certainly includes people that some of us may not have liked. Some who died that day were already heroes many times over. Others were heroes to those who loved them. And for others we‘ll never know about the heroic things that they did in their final hours. Project 2996 is about making the people real to those of us who have never heard their stories.

What are your politics?Project 2996 is not right wing, left wing, centrist. For this part of our lives we put aside politics.

Project 2996 Merchandising?It may not seem like it these days, but some things are beyond money and it‘s influence. Futhermore, we don‘t have the time, energy, or bandwidth to properly investigate anyone that might want to sponsor the project or be licensed to “offer“ merchandise.

Go to your favorite seach engine. Be sure to type the victim‘s name in and 911, this will help to elminate pulling up information on people with similar names

You might need to dig deeper, but this will give you some starting points

For some of the victims there is very little information, in this case you might creat a more general tribute but we want a tribute for them as well.
