http://t.co/DGyIVpB via @addthis - They say "Time heals all wounds" - For all first responders, as well as for journalists who worked on 9/11 and the days following those horrific attacks on WTC- Today felt in some ways, just like it was yesterday. Therefore, I think an edit could be made to update it and say "time heals most wounds".
Members of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) stand together on the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 to remember the tremendous loss of life that occurred on that day and to recommit ourselves to fundamental American values of civil rights, inclusion, and diversity.
We mourn and honor all of the victims of 9/11, including Americans of many races, ethnicity, and religions, who perished in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC, and the first responders who sacrificed their lives.
This Saturday and Sunday turned out to be a fine weekend for City Island's Annual Fall Arts & Crafts Fair.
A few dozen artists and craftspeople offered face-painting, photography, jewelry, stained glass, arts and crafts, bath & body products, clothing, trophies, live music and fresh food. Visitors young and old enjoyed the festival.
Located along City Island Avenue from Bay Street to Schofield Street. the fair was sponsored by The City Island Chamber of Commerce, supporting small business for over 100 years. 718-885-9100 -
NYPD says one of two vans stolen from a World Trade Center contractor has been found.
Police officials had been investigating two thefts and a third in New Jersey because of unconfirmed threats that al-Qaida was planning a car bomb attack. But police reiterated Sunday that they'd found no evidence linking the thefts to a terrorist plot.
Two dark green Chevy vans had been stolen this month from a construction group. The company has been involved in recovery work at the site and is doing roadwork near 1 World Trade Center.
This day's legacy is written in large fonts with the spirit and lives of all survivors, who prove these terrorists lost even as they try to strike US again.
Seeing the live coverage of 9/11 memorial on ground zero, brings back tender details of NYC, USA and the entire World's loss. The sound of falling water grows louder... WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
A decade later, humanity gathers and shares recollections about what that day has meant for us as a city, a nation, a country and a people.
