I lived on Long Island back then and also feel a deep sense of loss for what happened on that day and in the weeks and months that followed as the ashes burned and the clean up began. My son will be studying it in school this year as a part of his history lesson. I can't believe it because it still seems like only yesterday that the military planes buzzed over our heads daily. It was a very frightening time to live in NY. We couldn't even go out on our boat because they scrambled all the GPS devices.
I will be lighting a candle tonight, as I have done every year on this anniversary.
