9/11

Its been 11 years since I felt the plane hit the Pentagon and watched the black smoke from a school a mile away.  I come to school today remembering the heroes on that tragic day here in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, in New York, and the many military who sacrificed in the ensuing war. The children in my school today were not even born then.  I doubt if more than a few bring up the anniversary today.  But if they do i want this generation of kids to come away from the story not with the images of the tragedy, but with the images of the human triumph of spirit and the unity that came after September 11th
