(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Dodie survived the 9/11 Pentagon attack, with respect in her heart for her co-workers there and for the first responders who acted with integrity and didn't panic. She feels they have not been sufficiently recognized by media. Anger also remains . . toward the government. Read her take on the situation here.
What's being taught in schools about that terrible day? Students who didn't live through it will have to learn from those who did - to the extent that's even possible. Second-hand learning can't equal learning from the experience, but we have to try.
"Drive-thru History" has a series of videos on 9/11 including the events and first-hand witnesses. The video below explains why the World Trade Center buildings were probably chosen by our enemies as targets. Taller than the Empire State Building, they symbolized America's "power, style, importance and influence."
