Remembering September 11


A dark period in America's recent history was the events surrounding September 11, 2001.  As we approach the ten year anniversary of these attacks on our nation, it is natural to reflect and remember our own experiences from that day.

I was teaching at JVS that day and remember students coming to me with stories.  I had no idea what was happening and spent most of the morning trying to calm their fears.  As the day unfolded and the reality of what had happened became more clear, my first thought was of my students that could possibly be fighting this war for us.

    I remember on September 11, 2001 I was in second grade and my teachers stopped the classes to watch the news report and so I watched the second plane hit the second tower.
