Will They Remember?
Welcome! Join me daily as I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, life in upstate New York, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.In the United States, that means an anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which changed all of our lives. We live with the fallout every day of our lives.In that post, I said this:
"No, don't be angry at me. I will remember September 11 for the rest of my life. I remember it every year. First, it was my father in law's birthday Then, it became the day I watched in horror as the second tower fell, later finding out that one of my co workers lost his son on that day. His daughter in law was pregnant. Other people I know lost loved ones. 11 people who went to my high school died that day. Two of them left pregnant spouses.
In the next nine months, children will turn 18 who have lived their entire lives, every moment, in a post - 9/11 world.And oh yes, as they turn 18 they gain the right to vote.They will remember, but not the way we do. Our job is to make sure they know about the day and its meaning, and let them sort it out. Keep in mind that the children born on September 11, 2001, will turn 18 on September 11, 2019, and will be granted the right to vote.
