WW1 - July 28, 1914

 

WW2 - September 1, 1939

 

9/11 - 8 years ago...that's why it impact us so much, it is a recent event, most of our generation was around to witness, and THAT is why it's so important still. What event in the last 10 years impacted us as hard as 9/11? Were you around for WW1 and WW2? No you weren't, quit trying to start shit. Who the fuck said it was the "most" important. This is pretty disrespectful of you. We don't need a history lesson.

 

you forgot the civil war: 620,000 dead give or take, by far the bloodiest war in our history

I think everyone here is commited to remembering those who perished rather than hating those who killed them. I glad everyone knows where they were when it happened, you should...

I was in Gr.6 when it happened. Seemed kind of random to me.

 

Indeed an unfortunate loss of life though. :\

I wasnt even born wait idk. I was either not born or 1 yr old.

 

sure is weird how you keep getting younger....I was at work that morning when I got a call from my boss telling me the U.S. was under attack..that pretty much shut our town down for a day while everybody sat and watched C.N.N. all day

This is what I totally agree on, the only reason that it has so much effect towards us is because it's so recent. If you look at all of the other wars or battles, this is pretty low on the list, but I'm not at all saying that the least one has little importance, all of them are the same.

I was on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and we were going over the George Washington Bridge when the first plane hit the North Tower. I saw it happen and eventually we turned around and they let us go home. It was horrible I wish i had never seen it

i was in first or second grade, i was lke 6. i watched it in school and when the second plane hit, my teacher told me last year that i yelled out WHAT A COOL MOVIE!. I really had no clue what was going on.

 

it was sad,

[Kiri-Jolith]

I was in 5th grade. Class had only been going for a little while and the teacher got a call from her husband telling her to turn on the news. We ended up sitting there watching the news for the rest of the day. I didn't know what the towers were, but I could tell they were important. I started bawling when they announced on the TV that people were trapped inside and that people had died. Ended up going home for the rest of the day.

 

 

Remember those who lost their lives from terrorism, but remember even more the actions we took afterwords.
