Remember 9/11

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14875533

TEN YEARS AGO on September 11, 2001, approximately 3000 people lost their lives due to a terrorist attack on the United States. Peter Negron is the son of one of many innocent men that were killed that day. Peter was only 11 years old when he was suddenly left without a parent, like so many other children were within hours of the attack. In 2003, Negron read a poem called "Stars" for his dad and all those people still remembering. Today, Negron, now 21, shared another message with the nation about growth, strength, and reflection. He spoke about how he's wished that his father was with him to watch him and his younger brother grow, but also that he's learned so much from his father even after his death. "I hope I can make my father proud" he says. "I miss you so much, Dad."
