Here's a good memorial to 9/11

This is pretty cool...the U.S. Navy is building a new ship out of scrap metal from the Twin Towers. The USS New York will be an amphibious assault ship and will be launched in 2007. Part of the bow is made from 24 tons of scrap metal from the World Trade Center.

Two sister ships are also planned, the USS Arlington (named after that part of the Pentagon that was hit on September 11th) and the USS Somerset, named after the county in Pennslyvania where United Flight 93 crashed.
