9/11 Tribute Passes 75 Million Hits

Just in time for the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, the hit counter for the Never Forget Tribute rolled past 75,000,000. We believe that the American People and the World can Never Forget the attacks that happened a decade ago. To do so would lull us into the complacency that was set up by the Clinton Administration which allowed the Islamic threat to materialize into the terrible events of 9/11.

About the Tribute

The animation was originally inspired by an anonymously-produced PowerPoint slideshow making the rounds on the Internet and via emails after 9/11. I gathered some of the graphics and produced the prototype of the graphic to display on my personal website. After refinements and improvements suggested by Damsel and others, it appears as it does today. This is the graphic seen in the right sidebar depicting the attacks on America by terrorists.

In August of 2005, I made the animation available to anyone. The offer was only taken by a few sites at first, but since then, many more have begun displaying the animation. As of December 2005, there were over 200 sites linking to it, and that number has been growing since. Sites in the US, Canada, Australia, the UK and Italy (and several other countries) display it on their pages.

The statistics counter in the sidebar just below the tribute indicates the approximate number of times that the tribute has been delivered to websites all over the nation and the world. Watch it for a few seconds to see it increment each time the tribute gets downloaded.
