Remember the Alamo - It has been Forgotten
Pearl Harbor - Never Forget - It has been Forgotten
9/11 - Never Forget - It has almost been Forgotten
You must be young/naive and not realize how life work in the USA
That is exactly the character I would expect out of such a terrible person as yourself. I'm old enough to retire. I'm old enough to be President of the United States. And accepting how life works, as you say, is what I am not going to do. All those events you have mentioned, I have studied in detail. Because they matter. The people matter. And I care.

My name is --------. My daughter has been a student of Melissa ISD from kindergarten to now high school freshman. She told me this evening there was no mention of September 11, 2001 at all today. I have been a career Firefighter/Paramedic for the ------------- Fire Department since July 2001. I was 21 years old. I have spent the last 22 years continuing to answer 9-1-1 calls and am still active duty. The year that I was of minimum age to have the legal ability to do many things, began in 2001. I have spent my whole adult life, and career in Fire/EMS with the memory of 9-11-01.
We were only sixty days into a hopeful 25 to 30 year career in Fire/Rescue/EMS. We were students in Paramedic school at Methodist hospital Dallas. And we watched, with the rest of the world, our country under attack on September 11, 2001. We watched our countrymen die. We watched the living, attempting with all their might, to help their neighbors. Usually complete strangers. We watched FDNY answer, climb, and none refused a single order. We watched NYPD perform in the same way. We watched the Port Authority personnel perform in the same way. We watched any boat or ship, nearby evacuate every living soul that needed it, from Manhattan Island. Strangers rescuing strangers. Americans helping Americans.
Total killed 2753
FDNY 343 (greatest loss of Firefighter lives in one incident, in world history)
NYPD 23
Port Authority 37
Operation Enduring Freedom 2,343
Those are the lives lost because of 9-11-01
And the Melissa Independent School District cannot even officially mention it today and every September 11 that follows? You should be ashamed of yourselves. You have taken for granted the blood, sweat and tears shed for you and your families everyday from then to now. You have taken for granted the Soliders, Marines, Sailors and Airmen that stand ready to defend America, Texas, and Melissa every day. You have taken for granted the Firefighters that stand ready to put out your fires, cut the crashed car away from you, deliver your babies, save your spouse from a heart attack. You have taken for granted the Law Enforcement officers that stand ready to defend you against evil, and render aid as swiftly as possible.
Where is my America? Where is the appreciation and patriotism that we saw on September 12, 2001?
It is not within the Melissa Independent School District. You could not take five minutes out of your busy day to at least acknowledge the sacrifices made, that affords you your way of lives?
Shame on you.

Said something about it to a few of the people at work. Most were born in the late 90’s and have little knowledge about it and don’t really seem to care.

Thank you J.G. It's a day I hate to recall, but have to remember.
For me, it's my JFK assination day. Down't know where I was in 62 when I was 2. Certainly remember those bastages and what they did (killing innocents).
