I have a very emotional connection to 9/11. Although my wife and I have not personally suffered a close and personal loss, we do know many who did and still grieve. I remember the day like yesterday. Anyway, these songs give me comfort:

Thanks for sharing. What Pearl Harbor is to the greatest generation, 9/11 is to the Baby Boomer generation. 9/11 is the worst day of my life — even worse than the death of my parents, who at 90+ were supposed to die. I still weep when I see photos and videos of 9/11. For those of us who lived in NYC and suburbia on that horrible day, we all know someone who perished. I remember going to the Metro North train station that evening to aid those coming back from Ground Zero, and seeing the numb faces covered in soot and dust, soaked in sweat, tears, and blood; and I recall the cars at the train station in the following days that no one claimed. I still have flashbacks even though I was safe and comfy fifty miles from ground zero. I can only imagine the pain and suffering of those who perished and their families who suffered. I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!
