AN IRISH TRIBUTE
September 11, 2001, will rank among the bloodiest days in the history of the
Irish people. Nobody knows exactly how many were lost but we do know that
thousands of members of the global Irish community will never see their loved
ones again.

Many of the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington
and Pennsylvania perished in a valiant struggle to save the lives of others. The
heroics of firefighters, police officers and emergency workers will be
remembered alongside office workers and plane passengers who displayed
unfathomable courage. Many who died were leaders in their chosen professions:
success stories of an Irish diaspora built on the many sacrifices of their
forebears.

To honor all those who died, and to allow their friends and families to do the
same, IrishAbroad has set up this special site. We do not pretend it is in any
way complete – we need your help. Surnames can give clues but cannot be
definitive. Also, for every single person who was killed, there are countless
friends and relations with anecdotes and stories to tell. Everyone will have
their own memories: schoolyard games, college parties, taking the kids to
school, going on holidays, the last kiss, the last meeting, the last cup of
coffee on that fateful morning.

This global Irish site has been created as a place for everyone. Irish people
have friends and relatives of every ethnicity, creed and colour and these should
be remembered too. Our tears are all the same. We would also like survivors to
share their stories. We intend that IrishTribute.com will serve as a virtual
beacon of bravery, love and hope.

act. Though 9/11 is nothing special Ray. Its not the only place on the
planet Ray that innocent people are dying as a result of the actions
of other men. The real question is how can we change this? The first
big step is to change western aggressive foreign policies? The hands
of the US are just as bloody as any-ones when it comes to killing
innocent civilians. I cannot see why Irish or US civilians should get
more consideration than Iraqi or Afghans.
