My brother was just deployed to Afghanistan (8/22/08) In early April me a my brother went to New Jersey to pick up a car I purchased on E-Bay, we had never been to New York we decided to fly into La Guardia airport, rent a car and pay our respects. 9/11 is the reason my bother joined the Army. We believe the Twin Towers should always be Twin Towers! I’ve followed the rebuilding online and I’ve never liked the current Freedom tower (or any single Tower scenario).This is why I signed this petition.

I am from upstate and I joined after sept. 11. I wonder why it is taking so long to rebuild in a major American city. After we have invaded and started rebuilding two foriegn countries. It’s a shame. Rebuild the twin towers.

Rebuild this grand icon of America’s (and the world’s) constant yearning for freedom and goodwill. The F. T. looks OK, but the spire that reduces actual “true” floor levels is cowardly and screams, “We’re scared that they’ll attack us again.” Also, the extra emphasis on the glass surface seems to say, “Those old towers just weren’t elegant enough,” which is insulting to our pride in USA’s rich architectural history. Finally, the name “Freedom” is redundant, as any US icon has freedom implied.

Americans are not afraid. Build them bigger, better, and stronger than ever. Let us worry about protecting them.

Please honor the memories of those who died in the attack and those who continue to die to ensure this will never happen again! After 7 long years, something needs to be done, NOW. One big, pointed garden center is not enough. We need the Twin Towers back and better than ever!

Every time we lose something, we strive to get better. why not do the same with the Twin Towers? Do not let the terrorists win, they wanted to change the great New York skyline and if we do not rebuild the Twins, they would have done so.

not rebuilding the towers is as ludicrous as not rebuilding the pentagon. They are both national symbols of American excellence. Rebuild the towers in the same image, but taller than the one in Dubai!

It occurs to me that a hundred years ago, this would not even have been a question. Of course they should be rebuilt. Exactly as before. No taller, no bigger. The act of destroying the the Towers is a symbol, as is the act of rebuilding them just like they were. I don’t care about sending the message. I care about rebuilding them so people can stop living in fear. Maybe one day when people look at the skyline of New York, instead of pain, they’ll feel hope.

Put the Towers back! Add a floor for an appropriate memorial, but the Towers must go back. We must show that we can indeed be knocked down by a surprise attack, but we are America and we will be back, bigger and stronger than before. The Towers were chosen as targets because they typified the United States. Any ‘alternative’ design for the WTC will simply become the Osama bin Laden memorial. Stand firm! Rebuild the Towers!

If we do not rebuild the symbols that Osama Bin Laden was so keen to destroy, then he ultimately wins. Rebuilding them - at least as tall as they were before - is essential to National pride, National Honor - and is the best way to honor the fallen.

The Twin Towers represented the ideals of the United States as well as anything. A place for unrestrained capitalism conducted by individuals from nearly every country on this planet.We need this symbol back and in the truest American fashion let’s rebuild them taller and stronger than any structures this world has ever known!

The terrorists knocked down the towers. REBUILDING them EXACTLY as they were would be a slap in the Terrorists’ collective faces. It would be a statement, telling them that no matter what they do, they cannot stop us…EVER.

I agree…let’s make New York, New York again! I believe seeing the Twin Towers back in that familiar skyline would unite the country (which has become evermore divided since then) and show the world that we will not change or bend to anyone’s will. It would provide healing and perhaps some closure to one of the most horrific events our country has ever endured. Did they not repair the Pentagon? If flight 93 had hit the White House, would it not have been rebuilt? Let us do the right thing now!

Some standing monument that has no other purpose than to memorialize those innocent victims, would serve to honor the memory of the lives lost in that great tragedy, but to rebuild says to the bastards who would like to see more people die in that fashion that we will always come back; that they cannot destroy forever that which we endeavor to create or the way in which we choose to live and work, which is a far greater testament to the souls of those great Americans.

The Twin Towers partner to create New York’s disctinct skyline. Let us rebuild them; for their subtle beauty, glory, and elegance will suffocate the evil of terrorist acts. May our silent towers of strength deafen the cowardly outbursts of Al-Qaeda.

My fellow countrymen, it is unthinkable to not re-build these fabulous symbols of American might, innovation, and the inner strength that we all have. They symbolize what’s great about all of us -everyone. Lets do it. - LT Hayes

I believe that the greatest tribute to those who died, and the strongest message we can send their murderers, can be achieved by returning the towers to their original glory. So much has changed as a result of the attacks, and I think that we need to bring things back to the way they were, to show the terrorists that we will not be swayed by their evil. Building an “art peice” on that site would not have the same impact, and would still leave me feeling hollow when I look at the skyline.

Currently Serving in Iraq, with 3 additional tours both here and Afghanistan. I grew up looking at the Twin Towers and their destruction drives me to do what I do. Rebuilding them is the way America can show we are not swayed by terrorists…WE WILL PREVAIL!
