For the US this is a difficult day; however, if you are a New Yorker today is a day that will live in infamy.
Everyone of us remembers where we were on this day, what the day was like, what we were doing when we found out the Towers were struck; and, then ultimately collapsed and the conversations we had.
The attacks on September 11th changed our lives - we now see National Guard at our train stations, we take off our shoes to go through security at airports, all of our bags are searched when we go to any public venues.
What it did for me was the loss of innocence, naivete that we can walk around thinking that we are safe. That is the way I lived prior to 9/11 - but, no more.
On 9/11 America lost its innocence - we will never recapture that time.
