17. Why Am I teaching you about this? This is something real, it happened within this century, in a time where our technology is progressing. Be Aware, I want what is best for each and every one of you, I don’t want to hide the truth from you all. I define this as one of the worst attacks we have ever had on our nation. Be Proud, you all live in a country that despite its history, is ever changing, trying to be better, to see that in times of turmoil, we as American citizens will try to help one another and that we should care for each other and our country.
