In my opinion I think that the items left behind from September 11, 2001 should not be thrown out. I think that they are treasures for many reasons. First, the buildings are gone and that is all that is left of them so it is like a piece of history. Next, the September 11 motto is “Never Forget.” When you look at those pieces of the buildings, the dusty clothing items, the shoes left behind by victims, or twisted pieces of steel you are instantly brought back to that day like a flashback to a horrible nightmare and you are brought back to where you were that day and the feelings you felt at that moment on that day start pouring back on to you like a waterfall. Also, the items left behind by the buildings need to be saved because they should be used in museums to teach the younger generations about that day since they were not there or were too young to remember anything about the day. Like items from the Holocaust were saved and put into the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. to be used to teach people like me that were not born yet what it was like. However, throwing out the items of that day can be part of a grieving process for many on the family members or friends of the victims of September 11 I still think they should donate them to museums to be put on display. In conclusion, keeping items from that day will help teach the history to younger generations such as taking field trips to Yorktown to learn about the Revolutionary war.
