With thousands of names etched into Ground Zero's 9/11 memorial, a typo was probably bound to happen. But when the family and friends of victim Jeffrey Schreier saw that his name had been spelled incorrectly as "Jeffery," they were understandably upset.

"As soon as we found out about this error we began working on how to make it right," the spokesman's statement read.
