People who are in college today were young children on 9/11 which means that day must have been much more confusing and scary for them.

While liberals on Twitter are still blaming George W. Bush for 9/11, America’s best and brightest students are celebrating the memory of the people who were lost on that fateful day.

College students honor 9/11 victims with memorial services

College students across the country marked the 11^th anniversary of the September 11^th terror attacks with memorial services today.

“We feel it is important to remember those who lost their lives on that day,” Maurice Lewis, a junior at the University of California at Merced told Campus Reform. “This is a good time to reflect what happened as a school and nation.”

Many students showed their respect by planting 2,977 American flags to represent each victim and by coordinating campus-wide moments of silence at 9:11 a.m.

Derek Zhou, the President of the College Republicans at UC Berkley, also acknowledged the date with tabling and flag-planting.

“I think it’s important to make sure we don’t forget the victims from 11 years ago, because I think in this day and age we tend to let these memories slide,” he said. “It’s very important to always keep these victims in our hearts.”

Many were participants in the Young Americans Foundation’s Never Forget Project, which has provided students with resources honor the victims of the attacks since 2003.

Remembering 9/11

As we approach the 11th anniversary of our generation’s greatest tragedy, we all look back to that fateful September day in 2001. We all have vastly different memories, due to our different ages, locations, and connections to those tragic events. I was 10 years old, and all I remember is that I was in fourth grade, and there was an announcement over the intercom in my elementary school that there would be no after-school activities, all students were to go home.

My teacher said that there had been a tragedy that had occurred that day and to go home and talk with our parents about it. I learned more about it from an older student on the bus, as they had seen the footage on TV during the day, and I ultimately got home and saw the news footage. However, being 10 years old, I didn’t fully understand.
