9 /11 / 2012

Hey y'all,

I am gonna be talking about 9/11, since you might not have time to write something up I thought I would tell you a little bit, but if you want to email me something, or put something in the comments, go right ahead. So if you want to know my feelings look for My Thoughts on 9/11 by RJ. Today marks the anniversary of the terrorist attack in New York City and Washington D.C. The attack was 11 years ago, that seems like a long time, and people would forget about it, but really you can't forget about it. We must always remember those who died that day, and those who have given their lives since to keep us free.

Last year I had kids from Ohio answer these questions.
1. In a few sentences, what do you know about 9/11?
2. How old were you when you first heard about 9/11?
3. Talk with someone 20 years or older, and let us know how growing up after 9/11 has been different for you compared to kids who were in school before 9/11?

I also got to hear from the U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan with his thoughts on 9/11.
