Here are some photos I took in June 2014 of the 9/11 memorial. In 2001 we lived in Alaska, and I remember being awakened with the news on the radio a small plane had hit one of the towers. This is a day to remember!
I have a granddaughter, Maya, born on September 11th, 2007. This is also an event for our family to remember on this day.
In 2007, my Wife was with my daughter for our granddaughter's birth. My wife was recovering from Breast Cancer Surgery. Every 9/11 is another year she has survived this terrible disease. I pray I get to continue to celebrate this event.
A lot to remember,
Steve

I don't think those of us who lived through it _can_ forget. DW & I were living in Massapequa, 20+ miles east of NYC. I was at work. The cell phones went down, but I had access to a land line, which a couple of guys used to call home. One fellow lived in Brooklyn, and was worried about his family.
All the highways into the city were closed off to allow ambulances fast access. Sadly, they were not needed.
Several years later, DW and I were in lower Manhattan, and went past the site. It was still a huge gaping hole, surrounded by fences with handmade memorial messages on them.

I was in an AT&T building 13 blocks from the Towers on 9/11 and saw the 2nd one come down. Equally disturbing in the days following were the posters and pictures of missing relatives that were on every available open space in lower Manhattan; it was truly heart-breaking.

I know what you mean. When I visited they had begun to repair the damaged wall that held the Hudson River back. This is one of my all-time favorite photos because when I view it, it elicits a feeling of sympathy for the victims and a sense of pride in our country. I like seeing the flag flying from the construction site. In the middle of lower Manhattan with all the city noises and construction noises, you could have heard a pin drop as the viewers stood silent looking into the hole at ground zero.

We give lip service to remembering, but if we really did remember, NYC would never have allowed the terrorists to build an Islamic center at 51 Park Place.

Our world changed that day.
A short while before that day I started working as a pharmacist at Bellevue Hospital. That day was a challenge to come into work. Eventually Plywood walls had lined the entrance way. On the walls were missing person posters. It was sad to read them as we went to work.
