9/11 Memorial Misspells Victim's Name

Shauna Wright — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:27:34 +0000

In an “oops” of epic proportions, a 9/11 victim’s name was apparently misspelled on the New York memorial unveiled this past weekend.

Jeffrey Schreier worked for financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, and was one of the many from that company killed on September 11, 2001.

When his relatives visited the memorial during the 10th anniversary commemorations on Sunday, they were shocked to see his first name had been spelled “Jeffery” instead.

We Remember: 'Heaven 9-11′ Tribute [AUDIO]

Donovan Short — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:19 +0000

I was watching a documentary this week that focused on the children who lost parents in the 9/11 attacks, and followed them over the last ten years to see how they're doing today. It was equal parts heartbreaking and encouraging to see these kids growing up, and picking up the pieces from that awful day that changed so many lives. As we pause this weekend to remember the fallen, it's important that we remember those left behind as well. Years ago, DJ Sammy & Yanou released a powerful "Heaven" remake that featured a five year old girl who had lost her father in the attacks. Much like the documentary, this updated version follows that girl over the last ten years. It's difficult to listen to - but reminds us that for many, the loss is just as painful today as it was ten years ago.

Minorities Were Targeted in 'Revenge Attacks' Following September 11 [VIDEO]

Jade Walker — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:00:36 +0000

In the weeks and months following the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, many Americans became more patriotic. They tied yellow ribbons around trees, raised the flag, donated blood and enlisted in the military. Others, however, decided to seek revenge, and because their targets were so far away, they opted to hurt anyone who appeared to fit a specific profile.

In the past 10 years, the FBI has investigated more than 800 cases of violence against Arab-Americans, Muslims, Sikhs or people perceived to be of Middle Eastern origin. It is unknown how many of these “revenge attacks” were investigated by local authorities, but some were fatal.

What Do Americans Think About Sacrificing Rights to Fight Terrorism After 9/11?

Jade Walker — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:48:56 +0000

The terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 left an indelible mark on Americans. But even as the first responders climbed through the rubble in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania, the country embarked on a “War on Terror.” With that war came years of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, indefinite detention of terror suspects without charges or trial, enhanced interrogation techniques, extraordinary rendition and the passage of the USA Patriot Act.

Ten years later, Americans are still wondering if it was wise to sacrifice some privacy and freedoms in order to fight terrorism.
