Opinion: 9/11 Memorial Should Commit to 2011 Opening

Every effort should be made to ensure that the 9/11 Memorial and Museum will be completed in time to mark the tragedy’s 10th anniversary, implores David Beamer in an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Beamer, whose son, Todd Beamer, was a passenger on United Flight 93, serves on the Board of Directors of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and is calling for a firm commitment to a 2011 opening for the memorial.

“On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, will people be reminded of the collective will to respond to the attacks in a meaningful way, or will the results of bureaucracy, apathy, and a lack of leadership be on display?” said Mr. Beamer.
