Edward I. Koch,
Former Mayor, City of NY

Before a commercial tower is erected, a memorial should be chosen. I believe that the memorial should include some of the surviving exterior panels of the collapsed towers. They are a never-to-be-forgotten sight seen worldwide and in everyone's memory.

I recognize that there are other reasons not to rebuild what existed pre-9/11: Potential occupancy problems. Security concerns. Insurance woes. America can overcome them all....Why should we let the terrorists succeed in their mission to permanently remove the WTC from America's skyline when we have the ability to deny them their goal?

As a card carrying New Yorker, I have taken the 9/11 attacks on my city personally. My heart will not heal until the Twin Towers, symbolizing the spirit and vitality of this great city, stand tall again.

We do not build upon anger. We will build with courage and compassion. It will be a symbol of faith in the best, most loving aspects of human nature. There is no other way.

The attack that occurred on 9/11 should not be allowed to daunt us in terms of the way we live our lives....If something was worth doing on 9/10 it's worth doing on 9/12.

New York is the center of the Universe. I know. I was born at 55th and 9th. On behalf of all those brave souls who perished that day and all those Irish kids I grew up with who later became cops and fireman I say....

"Up the Towers!!!"

If we're really serious about making a stand against terrorism, then we've got to stand up for all whose lives were affected by September 11th. That's what Team Twin Towers is all about.

The unique quality that America embodies is perserverence. The urgent and necesary mesage that we need to send out to the rest of the world, now more than ever, is that of a nation not only rebuilding but overcoming and perservering.

They struck terror by attacking the World Trade Center, we truly will begin to strike back when we rebuild it. The World Trade Center must rise again, bigger and better than before.
