My boyfriend's mother was killed by a car while she stood on a corner waiting for the light in the Bronx. While it was not a terrorist, it was no less sudden or unexpected. Nor are his feelings of loss any less. And as he says all the time "My mother died on that corner and I don't go petitioning that a garbage can or a mail box shouldn't be put there because it's sacred ground".
That corner is not your boyfriend's mother's final resting place. There is only one site in Ameican history, on American soil, that was both the object of a terrorist attack, and the final resting place of victims. That is the World Trade Center site, and it should be treated with the same respect as that afforded to Pearl Harbor.
