9/11 is a very important date for Americans. It is the day the twin towers fell. It raised awareness of the threat of terrorism. It also showed just how much people will do for their cause. Not only were the terrorists willing to die just to crash into the twin towers and the pentagon, but there was one plane that the passengers hijacked from the terrorists who hijacked it in the first place, and got it to crash into an empty field instead. Never forget those people, those are the real heroes of the day, in my opinion.
With that in mind, I'd like to say that today there was a memorial assembly for 9/11 hosted by the JROTC at my high school. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go because it was during second period, and I had a chemistry test. So what I want to know is, why is it that the pep assemblies are mandatory, but the memorials and other JROTC hosted events, which seem to be far more important, are optional? Something to think about.
