I was in fourth grade when it happened. Didn't even know about this site. This is a strange day, in a strange time, in a very strange world.
And to think Epcot had just celebrated the future "hand in hand". It was a time of optimism, people believed in a bright future. The President campaigned mostly about education. Then the towers fell. The world has been a darker scarier place since then. Most visions of the future in popular culture are dark and grim. The President was thrown into the role of war leader, something he did not expect. Can the world ever be any better? It must.
As long as there is resolve in the dreams and hopes of Americans and humanity. We must never forget, we must always push forward, advancing, growing, becoming better with each day. Live in their memory.
God bless you all.
