I somewhat remember 9/11. I was only 4, just before my 5th birthday. I did ask my mom what happened, I was at home with my mom, she was pregnant and was watching tv. My mom was on the phone with a bunch of people that day, my dad was at work and came home early.
Every year at school we always sat in silence some stupid students even said why do we still have to do it. I do it because I'm lucky, I'm lucky none of my family was hurt and they were all home safely.
We celebrate for those who didn't make it, you didn't come home safely, who didn't make it or come home from finding others, and for those who crashed, saved others, and for those who thought it was going to be a normal day when in reality it changed not those who lost the family member that day but the world, the United States, and every student who sits in class who sits in silence.
Today is the day not only to be thankful for what we have or lucky to be alive but also for those who sacrifice their lives and who won't come home.
