Cerith Gardiner on What Our Children Should Know 21 Years after 9/11

"It is incredible to think that the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened 21 years ago today. It's also mind-blowing to think that there's a whole generation of children who weren't even alive when it happened.

"While our children will never feel the sense of shock, fear and anger that so many of us felt that day, it's important to remind them of the horrific event for a number of reasons. First, that one day shaped so many lives and had an impact on society that still affects us today. But it's also an important learning opportunity for our children."

In a recent commentary, writer Cerith Gardiner reflected on some of these important lessons, including understanding of loss and sacrifice, the power in remembering, and having a renewed sense of gratitude.
