If you aren’t familiar with this terrorist attack, here’s a 2-minute overview:
***
I’m excited to announce the release of my latest prehistoric fiction, The Quest for Home. Click through and check it out!
Jacqui Murray is the author of the popular Building a Midshipman, the story of her daughter’s journey from high school to United States Naval Academy, the Rowe-Delamagente thrillers, and the Man vs. Nature saga. She is also the author/editor of over a hundred books on integrating tech into education, adjunct professor of technology in education, blog webmaster, an Amazon Vine Voice, a columnist for TeachHUB and NEA Today, and a freelance journalist. Look for her next prehistoric fiction, In the Footsteps of Giants, Winter 2021.
I really hope no one else does. America doesn’t get attacked on our homeland too often. Like almost never. We need to make sure it never happens again.
I was a senior in high school when the the towers went down. No one knew what to do. We just stood in class staring at the ancient TV our teacher had wheeled in. People from other classrooms were pouring in and we all just stood there knowing that nothing would ever be the same.
