NOVI,
Mich. - As Americans start regaining their sense of comfort; they
are also turning to things that offer a lasting sense of remembrance.
A
new web site, www.memorialbracelets.com, offers Victims of
Terrorism (VOT) bracelets for people who wish to show support
for the friends and families of those lost on September 11,
2001. VOT bracelets are available without names for people
who want to show support for America's opposition to terrorism.
All
profits are currently being donated to the Twin Tower Orphan
Fund. "We think these bracelets are a great way to raise
money for the children of the victims," said W. Knox
Richardson, co-founder of the Twin Tower Orphan Fund.
MemorialBracelets.com
borrows from the concept of Vietnam War-era POWs and MIAs.
Americans hoped that wearing bracelets bearing their names
would return missing or imprisoned Vietnam soldiers. The VOT
bracelets offer American's hope that the lives of the victims
will not be forgotten and that America will always be prepared
to prevent another terrorist attack.
John
Roy, a New Yorker who lost his brother in the World Trade
Center, requested his brother's name, Sgt. Timothy Roy, be
added to the list of victims. "By wearing the bracelet,
people will be showing hope that my brother's body or something
from him will be found so we can have some closure,"
said Roy. |
