remembering 9/11

There's a time and a place for remembering 9/11, and this isn't one of them.

Yesterday, August 17, was the final day of operation for the 9/11 Tribute Museum in New York City.

Every public school will observe a moment of silence on 9/11, according to a new law in New York State.

Two years ago, my wife and I visied the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, which was a very moving experience. At that time, the new 1 World Trade Center building and memorial museum were still under construction. Now, it's been announced that the museum will finally open to public in May. Here are the details.

To honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, Billy Joel participated with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and a group of firefighters in a motorcycle ride in Manhattan. The route they took -- from a firehouse on W. 43rd St. down the West Side Highway to Ground Zero -- followed the path taken by Rescue 1, which lost half of its members, on that day 12 years ago.

On Wednesday morning in New York, family and friends of the victims of 9/11, along with law-enforcement and political leaders, gathered at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
