Bronx Chamber of Commerce - September 13th 911 Memorial Ceremony
EDITOR'S NOTE:
9/11 was an important part of American history since it was the first time in the 20th Century that the United States Homeland was attacked. It is very important that this be taught in all schools so children born after 9/11 know what happened, and realize that the attacks were against their freedom which they enjoy today.
