This past June I was on a layover in Jersey City and walked over to Liberty State Park where I was able to take in views not only of Lady Liberty, but also this memorial of the Twin Towers, from the New Jersey side of the Hudson. #9/11 #NeverForget #September11th

Almost a quarter of a century ago. #neverforget 💙🤍♥️
Today reminds us
of the last time we bonded
as one true nation.

In 10th grade English class we utilized this poem today to reflect on 9/11 as well as analyze the poem‘s structure, meaning & the poet‘s possible thinking. Attaching is an article from the Poetry Foundation titled “Can Poetry Console a Grieving Public?” Something to reflect on.

where were you that day
when it all went away — the
world that we once knew.
day of infamy,
thousands lost — landscape of our
world forever changed.
I have that morning burned into my memory. I was a senior in a private high school & we were in chapel. One of my teachers came in to tell us what happened. We had his class next hour & sat there listening to the towers collapse on the radio. #neverforget ♥️🤍💙

Today is always hard for me. It was my first month in WV. I watched the towers fall in disbelief from my new job as a Spec Ed teacher. I was cut off for a week from my family and close friends. My friend from HS was there as a cop. My uncle was there as a fire man- my cousin was there as a fireman, my brother was there after- initially to rescue people but soon to recover remains the towers were no longer in view from my childhood kitchen window.
Early morning tea & a book.Today‘s date,9/11 is seared into our national collective consciousness.I was at work when my husband called me with this news.No access to a TV at work,no social media then.It was a doctor‘s office so we stayed open.My husband was home so he went to get our 8 year old son from school.Total shock,numbness.A friend of mine‘ father lost his whole NYC office.Another friend‘s brother died.The grief & #ragemusic came later.
@Eggs These were all great guides, if you ever get the chance to go to Normandy. We went in September 2023.

pickI figured today was a good day to read this. It‘s a fresh reminder of the horrors of that day and I can‘t believe it‘s been 23 years, it seems like it was just yesterday. This is a middle grade book and a good way to introduce kids to this subject, but it‘s a fast read for adults and I would recommend it to any age. 5⭐️ #ISurvived #911 #neverforget #historicalfiction
