=**9/11 **=

Holding on the rubble, or what are “treasures” now, of 9/11 is really important in my opinion. Remembering and coming to reality with tragic disasters is important for young people to help understand what happened, and important for the ones who were old enough to remember heal and come to terms with what happened. The fact that they took the trash from 9/11 and made them into beautiful and touching, sometimes painful remembrances of the people and countries affected just by one day is amazing. It honors what happened to our country and shows we won’t ignore or try to forget that we were once weakened, but instead we took that weakness and used it to make us a stronger country as a whole. Taking a negative event and making it positive is the best way to cope with things like tragedies. It’s important to remember but even more important to not let the bad bring us down, not to let the bad make us bitter and full of hate because then we would be no better than the people who had so much hate towards us that they killed thousands of Americans, but to make us better.
