As Good and Commendable as many of the Memorial proposals have been, (including to a point even "carbon copy" reconstructing the Towers and vicinity exactly as they were, -maybe even a little taller), -I've personally found all to not quite exactly "hit the appropriate spot". I don't think we've quite hit the nail on the head, there!

Save perhaps one. (or 2, 3, or 4 as I shall also basically describe). These generally come down along the simplest, -yet most Tasteful, -of lines.

The first is that Twin Blue column of Light!, -that for a number of trial run months, -post 9-11, -shown directly up into the NYC sky and skyline so! I think that that would be a Perfect Memorial! Or very nearly so! The "nail" was at least very center on struck on the head!, -there! Why did this not last?! What ever has happened to this so Excellent of a Tribute?! Let's bring it back, Please! Whatever we do or do not do, -with any other sort of Tribute or Memorial. Perhaps the Color can be another, -but that Blue was Great nevertheless.

Possibilities 2, 3, and 4 involve 2)- Leaving it remain as the simple, cleaned out Pit, -that it now physically is. As described in this thread. I *do* think that some of the Wreckage, -preferably as it originally was, -should also remain up, -on or adjacent to even such a (Pit) Site.

Possibility 3 involves my and other's Idea and Inspiration, -to reconstruct the WTC Site exactly as it was, -but perhaps a bit Taller, and/or perhaps with some Memorial additions.

And Possibility 4 involves Finding that Fresh, New, Fitting, "Hit the Spot" Memorial Design, -to the extent such one(s) actually exist, -but just havn't been thought of by anyone yet.

Be Possibilities 2, 3, and 4 as they may. As well as all others that have so far been put forth for consideration. I personally think that the simple, Towering Light Columns as we've had (Possibility One), -so Very Well Hit the Mark and Spot! Whatever else we may do, -Let's Please bring that one back! As a People and a Nation! This is an Excellent Ball of which we should have never dropped!

Of course we experienced September 11th at more locations than just New York City or the WTC area, alone. Indeed, -all over and throughout our Nation, -and the larger world of People of Goodwill everywhere. But more concretely speaking, -the Pentagon and an isolated field in my homestate of PA, (which in turn of course substituted for wherever else that plane was wrongly being forced to!), -these are also just as much such Sites! And just as much Deserving of such an appropriate Memorial. Whatever that be. However Simple that may be.

Even more Important is our *own* Memorial(s), -in our own Minds and Hearts! And following through and Acting like it's so! We said we'd "Never Forget", -so let's go and be about *Remembering!* I think that we've watched and rewatched, -too many films of our 9-11 Experience, -in those immeadiate Days, Weeks, and Months thereafter, -and Too Little in the several Years now hereafter! We'd have been Hard on ourselves for Forgetting back then! We should be No Less so *now*! Have a Flag?, -Get it back out of the closet, -and back Up where it belongs! Sure this is far from the main or only thing in Life, -but give it it's Place and Due!

Now back to specific Memorial proposals and Efforts, -Let's certainly bring back!, -those so "Right On!", -of Twin, Towering Light Columns!

(Appropriately "Pardon" some "ranting" or OTing, -as may actually or seemingly exist here, -if you can. I've tried to keep it centered along the lines of a reply to the Memorial topic, -here in this thread). (Your description of your Pit Feeling and Experience, -I'd say is certainly quite ON topic.)
