Well, having extremely close and personal connections to both 9-11 and the Boston Bombings, I'm sure that my perspective is a bit skewed, but, you had to be there I guess.
How close? A relative and a neighbor's sister on flight 11.
DW was directly across the street from the devastation on Boylston St. less than 200 feet away. Took me two hours find her.
So, yeah, from my vantage point, we're at war; you can look at what's in my phone.
Considering that I actually saw the WTC come down out my apt window and lived there for an extra day before walking out of the zone, I think I can say I was there.... I did not know anybody who died, but every one of my coworkers did... a neighbor, a friend, somebody they said HI to in the building....
However, being there should not matter... I think most every American has an emotional tie in some way or another to the attack...
