Introduction

I picked up this Q because I was a native New Yorker 9/11 was the date that impacted me hard.  I was in college at the time and I was at Arizona so by the time I found out what was going on and it all happened.  This memorial Ruck will remind us of events of the day and spread some important messages.

Naked Man Moleskin

Most of us, and F3 were either young men who do the work force still in college or still in high school.  9/11 was a pivotal event for us because we were all in our very formative years for the most part we were only responsible to ourselves, but we saw World that was changing and we’ve seen where it’s gone since.

Is generations of people are born after the event, or those that were too young to remember grow up it’s important that we approach the memorial of this event, a little bit differently than some of the others not because of what happened but because of how we felt the days weeks and months afterwards probably the last time in our lifetimes since that we felt this way.  National Unity
