  • 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America Www
    9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America www.911familiesforamerica.org The Honorable Tom Coburn, M.D United States Senate February 9, 2012 Dear Senator Coburn: As family members of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, we are deeply disappointed with your decision to put a procedural hold on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum Act of 2011 (S.1537), effectively killing the proposed legislation that would provide federal funding to this vital organization. We understand that over the years you have consistently taken such action on so-called earmarks which are not accompanied by budget off-sets. We sincerely appreciate and share your concern about the country's alarming debt problem and agree that our children and grandchildren shouldn't have to foot the bill for the spending we engage in today. However, the 9/11 memorial and museum is not a local extravagance aimed at benefiting a few today at the expense of the many tomorrow. The attacks of September 11, 2001 may have centered in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, but they were experienced by all Americans and were viewed as an attack on the entire country. The 9/11 memorial and museum is a national project which will tell the comprehensive story of 9/11 and commemorate the victims of the three attack sites, as well as the victims of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Those of us who lost loved ones on 9/11 feel an urgent duty to our children, grandchildren and future generations to preserve the history of that day, to faithfully convey the catastrophic nature and emotional impact of the attacks--witnessed in real time--on the nation and the world.

R. Frakt* If “lawfare” is “the wrongful manipulation of the law and legal systems by our enemies to achieve strategic military or political ends” against the United States and other democratic allies, then the United States needs a “counterlawfare” strategy in response. This article proposes and defines the term counterlawfare as “defensive measures to reduce vulnera- bilities to the enemy‟s use of lawfare and actions to contain and minimize the effectiveness of lawfare, including, but not limited to: preparing the le- gal battlespace; denying, disrupting, and degrading the enemy‟s ability to use lawfare; and delegitimizing the enemy‟s lawfare efforts” and uses the concept to analyze the Bush Administration legal strategies in the war on terror.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the emergence of 9/11 memory as it is shaped in relation to the event’s memorialization at nationally-dedicated landscapes of memory. Focusing on the National September 11th Memorial & Museum, The National Flight 93 Memorial, and the National Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, my research examines how cultural memory is mediated through the establishment of ‘places of memory’ within the built-environment. Here, I argue, the preservation of place acts as a repository of national memory by safeguarding the history of 9/11 for future generations. Contextualizing these landscapes of memory within the global war on terrorism, my analytical framework engages the transnational significance of 9/11 memory in a global world. Accordingly, this research situates 9/11 remembrance within interdisciplinary and cross-border conversations that theorize national practices of preservation and commemoration in relation to transnational flows of people, information, and ideas.

May the United States Patent and Trademark Office refuse a trademark registration for a mark because the Office understands the mark to be disparaging in violation of § 2(a) of the Trademark Act based upon the Office’s interpretation of the viewpoint of the trademark applicant’s political speech related tangentially to the subject of the mark? 2. Did the court of appeals err by utilizing a standard of review for the “ultimate registrability” of Petitioners’ mark that (a) conflicts with the standard utilized by the majority of circuits that have addressed this issue, and (b) is both illogical in theory and muddled in practice? ii PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING The Petitioners are Pamela Geller and Robert B.

  • 2012 Year End Update Message from Mayor Michael R
    2012 Year end Update Message FROM MaYor Michael r. BlooMBerg Chair of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum Within its first year of opening to the public, the National September 11 Memorial became one of the most visited sites in New York City and the nation. Millions of visitors representing all 50 states and more than 175 nations have come to the Memorial to remember and reflect on all those we lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center. At the heart of the World Trade Center site, the 9/11 Memorial serves as a powerful tribute to the 2,983 innocent men, women, and children who perished in the attacks on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. People from across the nation and the world have come to lower Manhattan to honor their memories by reading the names etched along the two memorial pools. As visitors experience this unprecedented tribute, many contemplate both the unspeakable tragedy and remarkable heroism of that day—and find hope in the renewal that surrounds them. The 9/11 Memorial would not have been possible without the generosity of thousands of individuals, businesses, and organizations. It is also because of this outstanding support, as well as strong partnerships with Governor Andrew Cuomo, Governor Chris Christie, and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, that we will be able to open the 9/11 Memorial Museum. The Museum is critical to our mission of sharing the story of the attacks that changed our world and ensuring that it is remembered by all future generations.
