On the CBS News "Weekend Roundup" with host Allison Keyes; September 11th -- 20 years later. Nearly 3-thousand lives were lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. 343 firefighters alone died in New York City. We hear from Battalion Chief Jake Lemonda, former president of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, about what that terrible day was like, and what firefighters need now. Monica Iken-Murphy, who lost her husband Michael, poured her grief into founding the non profit September's Mission Foundation, and fought to secure the World Trade Center site for what is now the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. She spoke with Allison ahead of this weekend's annual ceremonies. From air travel, to security to the immigration system, the attacks on September 11th changed the U-S forever. We hear from CBS's Steve Futterman, CBS's Peter King, and CBS's Lilia Luciano. We'll also hear from CBS's Jeff Pegues on what the attacks meant for the Muslim community. In this week's Kaleidoscope, a discussion about the trauma and illness suffered by those in Lower Manhattan on September 11th. Lila Nordstrom was a senior at Stuyvesant High School, just blocks away from the World Trade Center. She founded the advocacy group StuyHealth, after seeing how her fellow classmates returned to school less than a month after the attacks, and became ill. Allison speaks with Dr. Monica Sweeney, who organized group therapy sessions at the Bedford-Stuyvesant Family Health Center after the attacks, and says people should still get help if they need it. CBS's Jennifer Keiper reports on how schools are dealing with teaching the history of the September 11th attacks. Finally, CBS' Monica Rix has last words from those who were lost.
