    Comment:  Where were you on 9/11 2001? 
    My answer:  TDY to Robins AFB GA which underwent a total transformation when the US Army arrived with troops and heavy weaponry to help secure the base with alarming speed.

    This article points out a vast amount of healthcare has been and is being provided to people exposed to the toxic dust.

    NEW YORK (AP) — Americans are marking 24 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with solemn ceremonies, volunteer work and other tributes honoring the victims.

    Many loved ones of the nearly 3,000 people killed will join dignitaries and politicians at commemorations Thursday in New York, at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

    Quote:

    In the years since the attacks, the U.S. government has spent billions of dollars providing health care and compensation to tens of thousands of people who were exposed to the toxic dust that billowed over parts of Manhattan when the twin towers collapsed. More than 140,000 people are still enrolled in monitoring programs intended to identify those with health conditions that could potentially be linked to hazardous materials in the soot.
