This is not going to be a long, drawn out reflection on the events of September 11, 2001. Like most people, I doubt I could ever forget that day – I do not need to be reminded.

This “Never Forget Flag” was made a day or two after 9/11 by two students of mine at Brookhurst Junior High School in Anaheim. They asked if they could have the front page of the newspaper and a bunch of construction paper. This is what they created: simple and lasting.
This poster is placed in the sight line of students when they say the Pledge daily.
While not “truthers”, my wife and I watched the thought provoking movie, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup last night. The movie raises some legitimate questions regarding what really happened that day. I think it is important to be informed and look at history from different points of view.
I find it interesting that many who do not buy the history they were taught in school do not doubt the information given to them by mainstream news. The commercialization of that day is, to be honest, sickening to me.
Skepticism leads to questions.
