Relatives of 9/11 victims endured another setback yesterday when they learned the World Trade Center Memorial most likely will not be completed until 2011.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey now says the memorial will not be finished on time. The new completion date is two years later than originally planned. The PA said the new date is due to construction delays.
“There are family members that I know that are elderly or very ill and they want to memorialize their son and their daughter, and I don’t know if that will happen anymore,” Bill Doyle of Staten Island, whose son Joey Doyle was killed in the north tower. Talking to reporters, Doyle was skeptical, … it’s going to be two years later and then they’ll say four years, but the further you get away from Sept. 11, people are going to forget about it.”
“The priority of the Port Authority is to make money, and I think they’re able to build their shopping mall over the remnants of the dead - they’re OK to do that, but not build a memorial,” said Sally Regenhard, of the Bronx, who lost her firefighter son Christian Regenhard in the attack.

The relatives of these murdered souls need to stand tall against this superficial force that pervades the consciousness of those in charge of rebuilding on Manhattan’s most sacred ground. They must transcend the arbitrary boundaries set forth and create the memorial that their loved ones would advocate. An old fashioned, kick-ass revival is in order here.
We are spiritual beings, not just flesh and blood. Let the Spiritual Revolution begin!
