Remembering September 11th On Long Island
It's hard to know exactly how to explain the events of September 11th to our children, much less figure out how to commemorate this difficult anniversary. With that in mind, there are a variety of events to offer choices to Long Island parents, as every family and every child is different. Here are a few events that are held in honor and in memory of those whose lives are lost, and those who helped save lives during the attack on the World Trade Center.
