2996 Remembered.........
2996: One Remembered Here
2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11. On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim. We will honor them by remembering their lives, and not by remembering their murderers.
Organized by D.C. Roe.
George Eric Smith
Died age 38
Of West Chester, Pa. At World Trade Center
Know by many as Georgie he had an infectious personality and a smile that made you smile. Upon meeting his college roommates wife for the first time he handed her a dozen roses and with that infectious grin said “So you’re THE ONE!!” His friends say that his laugh could bring your spirits up, and that they sought it out regularly.
On September 11th George was working at the World Trade Center that Tuesday like any other day. He was a senior business analyst at SunGard Asset Management Systems/Global Plus.
He was found the same day workers recovered 11 fire fighters and 2 civilians. It has been said that George was seen helping a burn victim out of tower 2, and went back in to help others. Like many he died a hero that day. Those that knew him said that was just who he was, never thinking of himself, only of who needed help.
On this the 5th anniversary of a horrible date in history we honor George Eric Smith your life touch many, saved some, and your faith inspired all.

Very nice.
how did you choose your person? i think the idea is really cool. it's kind of funny that he's from west chester... i know people from there! anywho... it really breaks my heart every year when i see that list and hear about what happened. i still remember that day vividly and where i was at when i found out and what i was wearing and what all i did that day... i tear up thinking about it every year. so thank you for the memory of one fallen soul... i doubt i could handle much more than that. God bless America!
I am so proud to be part of this project- remembering each one, and praying for their families. God Bless you kate for your writing here.
Lovely tribute, Kate.
Siv: D.C. Roe organized this it was he's brain child... We contacted him and said we'd like to participate and he sent us the name of a victim to research and tribute.....
cool
People are so focused on the people responsible for it but seem to forget the people who actually died because of them.
