Family Members What place or memorial have you seen that you like? What did you like about it? 9/11 memorial It was inclusive, and very calming. 9/11 Memorial It was beautiful. Park with a wall with names on it. Angels status. Water fountain. Water fountain area and location. Touchscreen info individual memorials Oklahoma City Memorial memorabilia collections 9-11 memorial Place to reflect and remember; reminder of the lessons we should Several Washington DC memorials learn from hateful acts Love that all the names were 911 New York City Place on a water fall Before the 911 Memorial was erected; I visited the site a month after the event. I liked its raw state; film posters adverts still hanging up from films premiered months prior. The brutal reality of the site in baring its bones. The paper cranes left by the schoolchildren. The Holocaust Museum along with the Anne Frank Haus spoke to me; the stories behind the lives of these beautiful people subjected to nothing but hate for who they loved and who they were. The educational component to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. spoke volumes to me. To follow the journey of a Holocaust victim... For Pulse, I see a blend of all of this. To learn the stories of why so many sought refuge and enjoyment there. Why did so many leave their "families"? Because they could not be who they were. I find it is important that we teach this lesson-it's okay to be who you are-we have your back-we love you-we will dance with you-in any form of structure. September 11 Honored the victims with beauty, told Anne Frank Huis they story and taught lessons 911 everything I always knew he was there watching Small garden behind my high school football field for one of the us win or lose. Constantly cheering us football dads on no.matter what! I love how it represents the 49 Angels Rainbow Crosswalk we lost __ 911 Shows the history 11-Sep The wall I feel like it honors the victims, survivors and first responders, while telling bits of their stories in the museum, you can see parts of the buildings, you are in the footprint, it's a very emotional, humbling and powerful place to be. There is so much about the victims and first responders and only one small cornered off 9/11 Memorial section about Osama Bin Laden. Memorial wall and the water feature 911 memorial site over 911 Memorial is an amazing eXample of lives taken by senseless hate, obviously we cannot have anything so GRAND but it is an example of an amazing memorial. I was a frequent patron a straight The connection you felt when at the married woman, I felt so safe at Pulse, it was a safe haven, out LGBT Memorial. just helps you feel community never ever had issues there. connected. Memorials are not easy to create or emulate. I feel this Memorial needs to be indoors and take you on a journey of what pulse was about, a time line that brings you to the tragedy and then culminates with the rising of this memorial. Something similar got he indoor The journey and knowledge of what WTC memorial or family museum happens here that day, why and how Beautiful etching in stone of the Vietnam wall names that will last a long time. 9/11 Memorial History, Connection to all affected, the names were memorialized, sadness, African American Museuem Washington DC hope, and love video/audio footage, video memorial, artifacts, history about the site before 9/11 museum the attack, 911, Washington Site water, lights, etc I like the education and facts of the bombing and how walking through the memorial made you feel the effects of what the victims and families had gone through. Each victim had a individual recognition about themself. Oklahoma City Memorial It was sad, but well put together.. the impact of the chairs and the Oklahoma memorial museum 49 columns with shapes of something that talk about each Angel, that tell us about each one of them, like who they where. With a center big plaque with a bit of history. Surrounded by a lovely garden that give the visitor some peace. I draw it. The room where they talk about each 911 Victims lives. General Comments My boyfriend died in the club. I would like to see his name on the wall of names. A water fountain represents live I loved the 9/11 memorial in nyc. Angles no crosses bc he was not berried there. Didn't see a library mentioned. Library of materials at the Holocaust Center is powerful, even just to see it. So many books written about the victims' experiences. Maybe consider a library of books about acceptance, diversity, the history of intolerance in our world and what it has led to (i.e. slavery, Holocaust) and of course any books written about the Pulse tragedy. Thank you guys for doing this for Eric. As I recently shared with Barbara, I am ready to be active in the Task Force- To lend my voice on behalf of so many. I made a promise to my beloved cousin who was more like my brother, Luis Daniel Wilson-Leon aka Dani-I would never stop telling his story. I would never stop fighting for the rights of others and do what I can via legislative measures and activism. More needs to be shared. We lost 49 and each one has a story. We must not let them fade. This is where our loved ones died. It would be important to have something about their lives. My Dear Uncle Franky J. De Jesus was gay but, he always respect his family and our believes, especially my Grandmother (his mom) make something that will welcome everybody and don't only focus on gay. My humble opinion The original building should be kept Do not give Omar any time or space in this memorial. Make this about the victims, the survivors and the first responders. I have been going to Pulse since it opened I used to go when it was ALL WHITE inside, I stopped for many years and when I returned it was amaZing, a whole new staff but still the same vibe of love and happiness. I hope they bring it back, I know it will be amaZing if they do. Pulse Continues. I believe a new building should be built around the existing foot print that encompasses the original Pulse. The memorial path could be a journey through the original space. I envision a beautiful park and garden with small to medium memorial building that includes indiviuals memorials as well as a history with pictures over the years of pulse as it was. We believe that the memorial should focus on victims, survivors and first responders first and foremost 90% then also include aspects of LGBTQ and terrorism/hate crime focus 10%. Obviously it is necessary to discuss events and circumstances leading up to what happened for a historical aspect but we think that focusing solely on terrorism and hate crimes will give the people who are hateful more publicity than necessary and adds to what has already been given to them. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND WILL DO! If you decide to knock down Pulse, can family and friends keep something before they demolish the club? For family that lives out of the state that hasn't made it to Pulse would be very hard if it was knocked down before we all said our peace their. Maybe ALL families should attempt on visiting the site before it is demolished. Survivors What place or memorial have you seen that you like? What did you like about it?
