September 11, 2001 will forever be etched into our memories.
Two years ago, my grandfather, who fought in WW2, compared 9/11 to Pearl Harbor. Both were surprise attacks on American soil that will forever change the mindset in America. Although Pearl Harbor thrust America into a World War, 9/11 thrust the world into the reality of the 21st century.
Although the world will move on, the lessons learned from 9/11 have not been completed, and the events in the early 21st century still represents that.
We will move on, but the repercussions of that day have not fully played out. For the youngest of Americans, this event and it's effects are most of what they know, and it will forever influence them.
