But not this year. During the September RIRA Common Council Meeting, it was announced that last year's 10th Anniversary 9/11 Remembrance was the last one but it was unclear who made that decision (The NY Times has an article today on communities scaling back there 9/11 Commemorations this year).
Here's more on the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks from previous posts including this memory from Roosevelt Island Historical Society President Judy Berdy:
It was a time that we all just came together. At some point we went to the firehouse and found the firefighters had no fresh food. We went to Gristedes and got them some food. Some folks put up signs in the elevators of the apt. houses and soon the firehouse was overwhelmed by generous islanders. It was such a show of gererousity. One day we went by and the new equipment was pouring in from all over the country.and a first hand, moment by moment view of the attack. Be advised, that this video is very disturbing so you may not want to watch it.
The islanders seemed to all be in Trellis. No one wanted to go home. We all knew the victims. It was our family.
We put a table out on the Saturday after the event and had posterboard and markers for people to write their thoughts. We bought 4 sheets of posterboard and ended up with 13 sheets, that hung in the store windows afterwards....

Some forms of rechargeable batteries will be more expensive than standard batteries, and the first-time cost of the charger itself must be taken into account. On average they are close to 90 percent effective. But no fires, no hot food, no sleep.
