Nearly a week after the 13th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, a bipartisan group of lawmakers from across the country has introduced the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act..

It is a rule nearly all New York politicians abide by: you don't mix politics and September 11th. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not buck the trend, keeping her remarks at a fundraiser in support of 9/11 health care benefits squarely on September 11th.

It was a regular day at work for Angie Houtz. Sept 11, 2001 carried no special meaning. She was 27 years old, working as a civilian intelligence analyst in the Pentagon when the plane hit, killing her and 183 others. She was also my cousin; and now September 11th is a day I will always think of her. The 9/11 Memorial in lower Manhattan opened to the public at 6 p.m. Thursday, the 13th anniversary of the attacks.
