At work. Wondering when I/ we were going to pack our bags and go somewhere.

But some of them are missing parents due to that day or the war that followed. Or have parents that served in the war or were wounded.Saw something interesting on the news this morning. Nobody that's in school today (grades K-12 at least) was even born when 9/11 happened. For them, it is history. They have no personal recollection of the events that day and in the days to follow. Given the state of education today, especially with regards to the teaching of history, that's a worry.

We must teach them that they have a vested interest in never forgetting too.

It didn't used to be a worry Sylvain, but here, they've been "adjusting" history for years. Facts are taboo in many cases. Many want to pretend that things didn't happen. Just look at all the confederate statues that have been removed, books like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn banned, movies like Gone With The Wind condemned, etc..I celebrate D-Day (June 6th 1944) every year (and other historical events) and I wasn't alive in 1944's.
I don't think it's a worry.
They will learn about 9/11.Their parents most likely witnessed it on TV.
