By all means, try the alleged 9/11 terrorist in N.Y.
Let us go back to the day, the bright and beautiful September day, when all the promise of a new morning collapsed in on itself like the towers themselves. The images and sounds of the attack — the planes, the falling bodies, the imploding buildings, the gaping maw where New York’s greatest landmarks stood, the dust, the smell, the photos of loved ones taped to windows — are etched in our minds forever. more

The Rev. Randall Broger of the Oceanside Interfaith Council addressed a crowd of about 100 at the organization’s annual 9/11 memorial at Schoolhouse Green last year on Sept. 11. The interfaith council paid tribute to those who died on 9/11 and had Rev. Bonnie Giebfried, a first responder on 9/11, speak to those in attendance about what it was like to be at Ground Zero on that day.
Those who have fallen
Eight years have passed since that dark day in our nation’s history. The observance of September 11 continues to be a time for remembrance, healing and solace, and hope for the future. The Herald hopes this photo page of victims, killed in the terrorists attacks in New York, who had a connection to Oceanside — some were born and grew up in the town, others lived there as adults or served in its fire department — will help memorialize them. more
