9/11 -Pat Minogue

brookins.jpg
After going over all the 9/11 conspiracy theories in class I decided to google 9/11 political cartoons and this was one of the top images. In this drawing, it shows the short term memory that U.S. citizens have. This image was released only 6 years after the tragedy and many americans already forgot about it.  It is now almost 14 years since the terrorist attack and the children and young adults of today barely even remember the attack if they were alive; which many young americans were not. It is important to remember this day not only to mourn those who risked their lives to save innocent americans, but also to remember the reason troops are still in the middle east today.

  1. Pat i fully agree with you that many Americans are forgeting this tragic event more and more every year. We need to remember 9/11 every year and remember those that lost there lives throughout that horrific day. We must not forget this day becuase it changed the world forever.
