My brother was two years old. <br /><br />My parents watched in horror as the planes crashed into the WTC, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. I remember seeing the smoke. We lived in Pennsylvania Philadelphia. <br /><br />My mom put her arms around me and my siblings explaining that there are some wicked people in this world.<br /><br />To Kathryn<br />How can you "not" remember 9/11? YOUNGER children than you can remember that awful day clearly without issues. Shame on you. You were 16 so you WERE old enough to remember it... <br /><br />Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-14180382497851960412014-09-14T19:15:06.739-04:002014-09-14T19:15:06.739-04:00Thank you for sharing this, Ellen.

I'm a special education teacher, and I facilitated a conversation about 9-11 with my students on Thursday. It was very sobering to realize that not one of them was alive when it happened. I was only nine years old, and I still remember that day like it was yesterday. The best thing that my students said, though, was that on 9-11, Americans truly showed the American spirit. It brought people together. As many people were running away, there were people who were running towards the World Trade Center to try to help save lives. It was such a horrible day for Americans, but it was a unifying day, too. I am so grateful to those firefighters who risked their lives to save fellow Americans. We will forever be indebted to them. Thank you for reminding us to take some time to thank them.Elise (Kids Included Together)http://blog.kitonline.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-25545887665810394942014-09-12T12:08:23.145-04:002014-09-12T12:08:23.145-04:00Very moving.

The tour guide told us that one of the victims was born in 1998. The year most of us were born. I remember how horrified we all were at the fact someone our age died in this. There was already so much awareness that year with the 10 year anniversary that fall and Osama Bin Laden having been killed a few weeks before. Seeing the memorial made it so much more real. Today I think of her, the little girl who died.Kathrynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-38979143878727115852014-09-11T14:07:31.345-04:002014-09-11T14:07:31.345-04:00Wow.
