On September 11th, America faced terrorist attacks of the worst kind. Innocent lives were lost and a sad cloud was cast over this great nation. These acts were intended to cause fear among all Americans - including our children. But, we cannot let that happen. There are things that we can do to help our kids. Talk with them, listen to them. Tell them they're safe, and that they're loved. God bless you, and God bless America.
