  12. Should we rebuild the Towers?

    I hate the idea of letting the terrorists think they won. But...any rebuilt tower is going to be a prime terrorist target. Would YOU want to work in it? I vote for a dignified memorial. I like the idea of one like the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial li...
  13. Would OR nursing be a good fit for me?
