Okay, it's a few months until the anniversary of 9/11, but I found a planned tribute which is looking for participants. Some here at IBA might be interested.
I found the following at GM Roper's blog and am shamelessly copying the information here:

9/11 Tribute Planned
Okay, it's a few months until the anniversary of 9/11, but I found a planned tribute which is looking for participants. Some here at IBA might be interested.
I found the following at GM Roper's blog and am shamelessly copying the information here: "'September 11, 2006 will mark the 5-year anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,996 innocent people on American soil....Here is how to sign up:
"'A few months ago I started wondering what, if anything, I would write in my blog that day. A remembrance? A tribute? Anything I came up with seemed shallow, cliché, not enough.
"'I’d like 2,995 blogging volunteers to help me with a tribute to the victims of 9/11. If you’d like to participate, you’ll be assigned the name of someone who was murdered on September 11, 2001. Then on September 11, 2006 you’ll post your own tribute to that person. It can be anything you want it to be: a photo tribute, an essay, a remembrance, a poem…it’s up to you. Then link back to a page I will create which will give the names of all 2,996 victims and links to the blogs that will remember them that day.
"'But, and this is critical, I don’t want any of us to remember the murderers. Do not refer to the terrorists. Or their organization. Or their goals. Let them fade into nothing. Let them be forgotten. Remember those worth remembering.'"
"If you want to participate, signups are being accepted through comments on either of two blogs: D.C. Roe or 2996. You can also sign up by email to dcroe05-at-yahoo-dot-com. D.C. is making the assignments; although, if you have a name you'd really like to honor, it probably wouldn't hurt to request it. A list of names and participants assigned so far is available here."I'm going to participate and have requested my assignment.
