Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on our country. Today we remember those who were lost , families who were affected, the first responders who risked their lives to help save people, and the men and women in our military who defended our freedom. Today, ask one or more of your teachers, other staff members, or your family where they were when they heard the news of the attacks. This is information that is permanently stuck inside just about everyone’s minds who were alive at that time and most people have a story to tell regarding it.
