Student Reflects on Trip to 9/11 Memorial
Student Reflects on Trip to 9/11 Memorial
The spirit of Memorial Day was captured perfectly in a guest column today by Michaela Aptt in the Sun Chronicle of North Attleboro, Mass.
The writer was part of a large group of high school students who recently visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Aptt connected that memory to yesterday’s Memorial Day parade in North Attleboro. Among the reflections:
“Although I had been warned, nothing could've prepared me for the content of the exhibit and the impact it would have on me, so I started to cry,” she writes.
Read the entire story, including a moving interaction with a Museum Visitor Services Host.
