It really upsets me that I'm seeing quotes about how some schools didn't even have a moment of silence for 9/11, I live about an hour away from Shanksville (where flight 93 went down) and it's a big deal in our school, every teacher talked about it, two class periods where dedicated to it, we had a 5 minute speech done by the principal, as well as a 3 minute moment of silence. I've heard contless stories about it from teachers, teachers assistants, and so on, and even though I was like 2 years old when it happened, and don't remember it, I feel both overwhelming sadness and overwhelming pride for what happened. We got screwed over, big time, but we pulled back from it, people risked their lives, and some died, trying to save the lives of those in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
Please, if you haven't had a moment of silnce for those who lost their lives, have one now. Think about the people who died, even if you didn't personally know anyone who did.
Never Forget.
