September 9,2010

Its really shocking that over 2,000 people died in total during 9/11. The people on Flight 93 were so brave and deserved to be remembered and honored this Saturday on the 9th anniversary of 9/11.

September 11 Project

On September 11 many people remember exactly what they were doing. I was in kindergarten and I remember my grandma picking me up from school and taking me home to watch pbs kids for the rest of the day. September 11,2001 was almost 9 years ago. One of the biggest tragedies and economic upsets in my lifetime.
