Rebuild our towers! USA!
Born and raised in New York. The twin towers were as much a part of our lives as breathing air and to not restore them to their rightful place in the New York skyline would be a disservice to all New Yorkers past and present and would be to have allowed these monsters to come in and have forever altered a huge part of New York. We cannot give them that power.
My son lives 1 mile north of the towers and was getting into a cab that morning to go to work in the Chrysler building. Noticed a plane way too low and proceeded to work. Word soon came that morning all was well with him and his (now) wife via blackberry message to my daughter in Boston.
Windows of the World was one of the first places he took me to show his town. Above the clouds!
I am glad to add my name to this list and think rebuilding the towers is exactly the message we should make.
I grew up in NY and visited the Twin Towers several times, even danced and had dinner there. It was heart wrenching to see them come down on 9-11. Don't allow the enemies to win, please rebuild the towers.
This is the only solution that has felt right from the very beginning. We must reclaim what was taken from us that awful day. Rebuild the towers better and stronger and the whole world will know that NYC and the USA are still strong and courageous.
We need to show strength and determination in the face of our enemies. Rebuild!
I could think of no better way to honor the memory of the fallen and the best of the spirit of the United States than to return the towers to New York.
What a reasonable, logical, honest and architecturally fitting concept. I'm not from NYC, but those times I had travelled there prior to 9/11, The Towers were always that bit of welcome confirmation for those visitors that are navigationally challenged. I have a vast catalog of 'mental jpegs' with The Towers commanding prominence in many frames. They have been missed.

Pardon my 'attempt' at Latin. Any correction appreciated.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers should have begun the day after Ground Zero was cleared.
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.
There simply is no other fitting response to 9/11 than to rebuild the Twin Towers. Anything else will be viewed by most Americans and the world as capitulation to the terrorists, and all who oppose freedom. If I had been one to perish in the attack, the only memorial that would truly honor my death would be to rebuild the towers in defiance of the terrorists.
The only thing standing in the way is our bankrupt government, politicians and bureaucrats!
Grew up in Brooklyn and later Staten Island. Watched the towers being built. I don't think that anything could be more fitting than to restore them to the skyline.
Silverstein should sue those bastards for holding his property in limbo. Build the Twin Towers and hang the politicians in the square.

I visited the Twin Towers once. Its really weird them not being there anymore. I totally believe they should be rebuilt. Whenever ya'll send out that booklet post it on your bulletins and let us know how its going im curious 🙂
Twin Towers Forever!
I Love the Twin Towers! The WTC site is nothing without them. Get everyone to do the Twin Towers 2 design by ken gardner im sure Larry silverstein would go for it! But yes Were America and we will stand tall for what we believe in which is bigger safer stronger Twin Towers!
Please Rebuild!! I wish to wake up and see those Towers outside my window again! Twin Towers II by Kenneth Gardner is the BEST!
The only appropriate design is to replace the Two Towers, and let the terrorists know we spit in their eyes. Get her done!
Let's roll.
The World Trade Center meant and still means a lot to me, but i would have loved to get a chance to go shopping in there and also going to the observation deck and and also going to windows on the world and eating a nice quality meal and it looked awesome in ny skyline and ground zero and it meant world trade and peace and they were a nice simple design and they brought a lot of business in nyc
WTC Rebuild!!!!

Freedom's Ring...
Cast down... shackled... dark, dank.
Alone...yearning, for a glimmer of light.
Vivid images racing, tormenting.
Shattered dreams of freedom,
suffering,hopeless despair;
Liberty"s light, beckons the patriots spirit.
If, only to hold..a single ray.
Grappling for life..the light of freedom.
Vanquishing the bonds of captivity;
Bursting forth, grasping the light... dreams.
Never too relinquish, guarded vigilantly.
Basking in freedoms light...
Your life,shackles,
We should do it, but will we? Can we? Are we Americans? Or are we done? Is this how it ends? The terrorists win...WTF!!!!!!
The World Trade Center was a great symbol of capitalism. What better to show terrorists that if you bomb it we shall rebuild it. Does not matter what they do, we will overcome that is who we are, that is our moral character. the old English phrase keep a stiff upper comes to mind anything but rebuilding the Twin Towers would be admitting defeat.
LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM.
The twin towers were obviously one of the most, if not the most, iconic features of New York City. They were the fusion of beauty, prestige, and simplicity. One great way to send a statement of American resolve against the fear and plight of terrorism would be to rebuild the very thing the terrorists took away. To rebuild the towers would not only restore a powerful symbol of New York, but send a clear message that our people and our country can and will rebuild anything our enemies destroy.
I Loved the Twin Towers. They NEED to be rebuilt the currrent situation is obviously looking up for us. God be with ya'll in getting this done. Plus I'll need a job soon and what a better place to work then the amazing TT2?
I miss home. Now that this occured makes me miss it even more than before. I think it is in the best favor of those direct affected families to see a bigger better NEW YORK!!!
To hell with the absurd Fear Tower! If we were still a serious country the Twin Towers would be up at 150 STORIES!
Sadly, we are no longer a serious country.
Send a message to the world that they can not change anything no matter what they do.
Greetings from Canada! Im signing this for many reasons. Rebuilding the WTC's Twin Towers bigger and stronger is just a very powerful message and definitely something to remember. The original WTC served New York in many ways from well World Trade to tourism and those who just like to gaze up at them. One more thing is that the Freedom Tower is just not the same especially when replacing the most famous twinned structures in the world. If they're built il bring a Canadian Flag to the WTC if I go.
Bring them back, better than ever.
The Twin Towers meant so much to me as an American citizen. After looking closely at the other WTC plan that has been proposed, I feel there is no comparison. This plan satisfies so many more of the core elements - the emotional, financial, historical, and visual elements would all remain intact, but with a positive eye on the future. Bravo. How else can I help?
Just build the originals again. It would be taking away the famous face of the city. And to the terrorists it would be the best signal. You can't get us small, we just rebuild them.
Plus fortes et plus grandes. More stronggers and more biggers forever.
Symbolism, in this case, has more value than we give it credit.
If you look at the design of the tower of freedom it's actually not that bad. That being said, there should be two of them!! The smaller one should be 1776 ft tall, and the bigger one including the antenna should be some 2000 feet tall... I would say... The twin towers looked like glorious guardians of Manhattan, like the collosal guardians at Abu Simbel... the new design looks exactly the same as other major cities' skyline... how sad!!!
The WTC towers were one of the most awe inspiring achievements of modern day engineering the world has ever seen. As such it is unsurprising that they were targeted by the cowards of 9/11 in a very symbolic message meant to say that even our greatest minds were inadequate to defeat them and send a significant blow to the morale of the country. It is only continuing to aid the enemy by not rebuilding them as it can be said they see it as an acceptance of their message. Now is the time to do it.
