We will be studying all different aspects of 9/11. What are your earliest memories of the attacks? Where were you? What did your parents tell you (at the time) or were you unaware of the events? Compare your experiences with your classmates. Post by Sunday June 5 for full credit. All posts after June 3 must refer to a previous post.
