Today I challenge you to learn one name of one victim from 9/11. One father, mother, son, or daughter that didnt make it home. One cop, fireman or EMS worker who died trying to help. One name. People are great at memorizing their favorite sports hero and spewin their stats, so it isnt hard. I ask you to do this every 9/11. From New York magazine.
