Two Days: A Letter To My Daughter
On the way to school today I saw flags lined up and remarked that I needed to put the flag out when I got home. I had taken it down a few days before when some large storms were rolling in and forgot to put it back up. You asked me why I was worried about it, and I said that today was September 11th. When you asked why that meant the flag needed to be out, I told you that today was the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Suddenly you remembered what your principal said about it, and that was why you were going to be singing American songs this week. For the first time in my life, I stopped talking and stayed generally silent about an American history topic.
