On Sunday, September 11, 2011 our nation will commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and also the brave people on Flight 93 who stopped terrorists from another attack in rural Pennsylvania. This date will forever be burned into the memories of those who lived through it and witnessed the tragedy occur that fateful day. It was the Pearl Harbor of my generation and many of my students were just being born or not even born yet, so I want them to have some understanding of this very important day in our nation's history. The terrorists may have taken over three thousand lives that day, but our resolve is stronger now than ever before and the United States of America will continue to stand together, united towards the ideals of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

Interactive 9/11 Timeline
What 9/11 taught me as I was just a a junior in college at the time~ was to never take any moment for granted, live for today, and most importantly~ tell your family you love them every chance you get!
Respectfully Submitted,
