The Story

When I decided that Project2996 needed some sort of logo I wanted something a little more dignified than a standard graphic design. I’ve been a fan of heraldry for many years, and recently have become an student of the field, it seemed a natural fit.

The Zinnia is a flower with a very specific connection to 9/11. Zoe and Dana Falkenberg were two of the youngest victims, and their surviving family has asked that people plant Zinnias (Zoe’s favorite flower) as a remembrance. My better half remembered Zoe, during the very first year of 2,996, and we have several Zinnias in our front yard to remember Zoe and her little sister. The four stars above the zinnia represent the four planes and four crash sites of 9/11. The coloring scheme where the shiled is divided into two colors with the charges inverted is called counterchanging, and is used to represent the stark change our country and world went through.

Bart Joseph Ruggiere

Recognizing a great life
A great man
And an amazing American

1 of 2,996 lives lost
September 11, 2001

Bart Ruggiere was 32 years old when the World Trade Centers were attacked in 2001.  As a successful member of the Cantor Fitzgerald company, he was well liked and loved by many.  Should you peruse the web searching for a little insight into his life you will find high school friends who worked with him, and until last year, were hopeful that he had not been a victim.  Strangers are leaving messages for him, his family and the site owners all sharing poignant thoughts wishing he had survived, or hoping his family his family is well.
No matter where you look, you find a sense of joy in the life that Bart lived so here too we shall find joy.



Should anyone wish to share a message with us, they need only to leave a message on the guestbook link listed to the left.  Leave a message for Bart, his family or simply read the messages and share in his life.
A life we now are in charge of keeping alive through memories and good thoughts.
