Today I read “9/11 Remembered: An Eyewitness Account” to my eighth grade lit lab class (for I will not have them in class on 9/11 as we are on an A/B block schedule) and was proudly surprised with how my students responded when I said, “You may not remember what you were doing…” Didn’t get to finish, for they quickly told me that they do remember exactly what they were doing on that day, seven years ago.
May we never forget. For as vivid as our memories are, the memories of those there and of those who lost loved ones have to be that much more vivid.
Tomorrow on 9/11, I will share this story aloud again, this very important story of Suzanne McCabe, an eyewitness account of when our country was attacked, with my three English classes.
May we never forget.
May we also stand a little taller and speak the words with a lot more feeling when we say “The Pledge of Allegiance” with our students tomorrow…on 9/11.
For may we never forget.
