Remembering 9-11 (9 Years Later)


In 2008 I asked people with connections to Watertown High School to share their memories of 9-11. Several responded and their memories were fascinating and powerful.

I am revisiting this effort and inviting people once again to share. My inspiration for this post is not just that today is the anniversary of 9-11 but because of a discussion I had in my sophomore world history class yesterday. They told me they were in the 1st grade when the attack happened. And many said they had strong memories - even though they were only 6 years old.

So, if you don't mind, will you share your memories here?

For the original comments made in 2008, go here. There are many excellent posts from many perspectives but I found Erik's comments about the Chinese response to be moving.
