Calm down, folks. It’s in honor of the date, not of particular individuals. I doubt anyone here wants to “honor” Osama bin Laden. In honor of the date: People associated with 9/11 1. NYC Mayor Rudy Giulliani 2. Osama bin Laden 3. Mark Bingham, gay hero of Flight 93 4. Former POTUS George W. Bush 5. The thousands that died that day. May they RIP. 6. Berry Berensen Perkins, Actress, photographer, widow of Tony Perkins; died in A.A. Flight 11 7. Dick Cheney 8. FDNY members killed in action 9. Todd Beamer The “Let’s roll” guy: [Let's roll - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_roll) ---

If it bothers colonial, I’ll withdraw the name. But in the future, if there’s an objection, I’d expected to asked about it before anyone decides to act on their own. In honor of the date: People associated with 9/11 1. NYC Mayor Rudy Giulliani 2. Mark Bingham, gay hero of Flight 93 3. Former POTUS George W. Bush 4. The thousands that died that day. May they RIP. 5. Berry Berensen Perkins, Actress, photographer, widow of Tony Perkins; died in A.A. Flight 11 6. Dick Cheney 7. FDNY members killed in action 8. Todd Beamer 9. Steve Buscemi ---

May they RIP. 5. Berry Berensen Perkins 6. Dick Cheney 7. FDNY members killed in action 8. Todd Beamer 9. Steve Buscemi 10. Ben “The Dell Dude” Curtis Though his contribution wasn’t as reported or as time consuming/dangerous as Buscemi’s, he was a rare combo of actor-hero that day. He used his Boy Scout training and his shirt as bandaging to administer first aid to several people injured by the debris clouds. (A couple of years later he lost his contract with Dell when he bought pot while wearing a kilt; I’m still not clear over whether it was the kilt or the pot that got him fired.) ---
