At the corner of Church and Warren streets, Janice Hart, of West Hempstead, was among the family members of 9/11 victims filing through a checkpoint toward the monument.

A few carried American flags or cameras. But like some others, Hart brought nothing to capture the moment or to show her national pride.

She was there only to grieve for her brother, Jeffrey Schreier, 48, of Brooklyn, who worked in the mailroom at Cantor Fitzgerald.

"He would have been one of the first in the office," she said.

This was a milestone, she said, but also like any other day.

"I think of him every day," she said.

Hart said her parents had survived the Holocaust, but their families were lost.

"So we've had a lot of loss in our family," she said.
