Subject: RE: BS: Ground Zero - A war grave?
Another sad but true: most of the remains (ashes and microscopic pieces) of the September 11th victims are in in a landfill on either Staten Island or New Jersey. I forget where they carted it all off to. I do think it is "sacred" ground, as much as Gettysburg or Omaha Beach and should be treated accordingly. At the same time, the economic survival of lower Manhattan may well depend upon restoring the businesses and homes which were lost. I have no problem with rebuilding a complex of buildings and apartment dwellings which incorporate a memorial or park so that the dead are honored.
