12 years after 9/11, some companies fail to show respect

It has been 12 years since the attack on the World Trade Centers. Today, there were memorials across the country honoring the victims.

Last year on this day I asked an elementary school student if she knew what happened on 9/11. She said they were learning about it in school and that President George W. Bush had been at her school when it happened (Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Fla.) She couldn't tell me more than that.

Two years ago, on the 10th anniversary, I was writing a story for my former employer about first responders struggling to get insurance for ailments caused by debris from the towers.
