Remembering 9-11
It’s hard for me to believe that the 9/11 attacks took place ten years ago. The images, the shock and the horror are still all too clear. My oldest son had just started high school… now he’s a second year teacher. My youngest son was just starting sixth grade… now he’s well into college. I was an assistant principal… at the school where I am now the principal.
There are many special events and tv shows/documentaries geared to help us remember that tragic day when the world seemed to stop and all eyes were glued to the tv dreading another announcement of an attack on freedom. While many of these events will focus on the disasters the attacks caused, my hope is that somehow we can get back that feeling of patriotism and pulling together as a nation that took place after the shock of the events wore off.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of all impacted on that terrible day… which is basically all of us.
