Today we wrote a memorial. A memorial is when you want to remember someone. Mom says a memorial can be for a special person we don't know. We didn't know Mr. Marino. He was special. We decided to name our tree fort after him. We are going to decorate it on Sunday just for him.

Dear Ben, You ROCK! I tried to write a memorial too, because of yours (it's where i got the idea). I think yours is better than mine. I also think your tree fort is probably the best one ever. Reply to this

We read in a book that all cool castles and forts have names. Our fort is the best. Dad made it with some help from Mr. Bud. We moved boxes and sorted the screws. Reply to this

Ben and Noah; your idea of naming your tree fort after Mr. Marino so "he will always be outside with the deer" was a great one. It made me cry, but it was a great idea! (You may want to ask your Mom why someone would cry reading about a good idea - I'm not sure I can explain that here.) Thanks, guys. I didn't know Mr. Marino, but I'm very sure he'd appreciate what you've done for him. Reply to this

I cried, too. Your idea is such a beautiful way to make sure that this special person, Mr. Lester Vincent Marino, a victim on 9/11/2001, will always be remembered. I'm sure he would be very happy to have such a wonderful treehouse named for him. It's a very loving thing to do, and a way to make sure we don't forget. Reply to this

ben & noah, your tribute for Mr. Marino is so wonderful. i imagine he would be quite honoured to know that two fine young men will be growing up and having a lot of fun childhood memories, while remember someone special who loved the outdoors. i love your blog, and i hope to get something from your store. i have nephews who are close to your ages, buit they are far from me. thanks for sharing your photos and drawing. you brought tears to my eyes, but its a good thing, when people care enough to do something right, like make a memorial for those who died on 9/11/01.

Your memorial to Mr. Marino is by far the most touching I have read. I too cried when I read yours. You boys are very special and I just wanted to thank you for your hard work. Reply to this
I know that Mr. Marino is looking down from heaven and smiling at the thought of having your tree fort named after him so he can always be outdoors. God bless you for your lovely idea and moving tribute. Reply to this

I like your treehouse very much. It was so good of you to remember Mr. Marino in this special way. Your drawings are wonderful. I especially like the angel in your picture of the Twin Towers. I like to think angels caught people as they fell that day. I hope you will show us pictures of your treehouse after you have decorated it. Mr. Marino is very lucky to have nice new friends like you remembering him. Because you remembered him today, now, so do I. Thank you.

I did a blog on Claudia Suzette Sutton. She was a beautiful and inspiring lady. http://claudiasuzettesutton.blogspot.com/
My fiance and I share a blog together, and he did his tribute to Sara Elizabeth Low. It is here: http://ebyzandgunz.blogspot.com/ Reply to this
I just wanted to tell you that it's true, a picture is worth a thousand words. If only I could draw as well as you and your brother, my tribute to Mr. Ken Swenson would have been that much more meaningful.
I wish you and your brother the best of times in your newly dedicated treehouse. I know that Mr. Marino will be watching over you two...and smiling from ear to ear.

We wanted to add everyone who has linked to the boys site from here there and everywhere. We will be creating a sidebar link under the 2,996 link where everyone's websites will be. We had a family meeting and decided that their blogroll on the side will be for all their "kid" friends and the link will be for all their new "adult" friends. We have been so touched that so many people have commented on what they boys have done. And, we want everyone to get the chance to see all the other amazing tributes to our fallen heroes of September 11, 2001.

Hi Ben & Noah: I just read your tribute and got all sniffly. I'm sure that angels caught everyone on 9/11, too. I wish I could give you both a big hug. You've made my heart lighter today knowing what wonderful grown-ups you both will be. How proud your Mom & Dad must be. (P.S. I have a wonderful grown-up son named Dale. He started the 2996 website, and I'm very proud of him, too.) Love, Dona Reply to this
