I don't think it's disrespectful - unless people make it so. It's a place for people to come and mourn and remember a tragedy - whether or not they actually lost a relative or friend themselves.
About 2 months ago, I was on a plane that was placed in a holding pattern over the East River. I was on the right (wrong?) side of the aircraft. I looked out the window and saw the Empire State Bldg lit in red, white, and blue, and watched as we flew downtown, knowing what was coming. And I saw the lights from ground zero. It's a sobering sight. I saw the news footage, as you all did... and I've seen the skyline... but it hit hardest at that moment, seeing it from above.
Everyone has a connection to that horrible day. And if I'd had half a chance to get to ground zero, there'd be a message from an AEPhi there too.
