9/11

I remember one of the history teachers--one of the ones everybody liked--interrupting our gym class to tell us what had happened after another student had asked about the rumors of what was happening in New York (no word of the Pentagon or Pennsylvania yet).  Afterward, the gym teacher took us right back into... basketball drills, I think?

The next day, most students and teachers were not wearing red, white, and blue. They wore camouflage: marking themselves as ready for the next attack, which would surely be targeting rural Virginia because "that would scare people--no one would suspect that."

Beyond such Fuck The 9/12 Project anecdotes, I'm afraid I'm useless for any kind of 9/11 remembrance. For that, there are more qualified people you can turn to.
