The concept was to bring bloggers from around the world together to remember and pay tribute to the victims of Sept 11, 2001.

Roe instructed bloggers to take the time to get to know one of the people who died and to celebrate and remember their lives rather than focus on the tragedy that befell them that fateful day.
I still love the fact that the focus of this blog meme wasn't on the horror, but on celebrating the lives, the people they had been before 9/11.
Here are my own links to three individuals that I focused on learning a bit about and sharing. Ever year, on this anniversary, I re-read the posts, think about the lives they lived and the differences they made before those lives were ended.
The posts about the people are listed below.
Raymond Meisenheimer
Remembering Raymond Meisenheimer (Blog post from 2006)
Deora Francis Bodley
Remembering The Lives of Two Heros (Blog post from 2007)
David Reed Gamboa Bradhorst
Project 2996 - Sept 11, 2008 (Blog post from 2008)
It's my small way of celebrating these lives, and not forgetting.
