“A day that will live in infamy” was said by President Franklin D. Roosevelt after The Empire of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. It was a day he said, no one will ever forget.
Now, we’re all too young to remember that a event, and too young to say where we were when JFK and John Lennon were assinated.
So what event in history (Good or Bad) is a day you’ll never forget, a day you remember where you were, a day you’ll tell your grandchildren about. Was it 9/11? Was it the day the first African American was elected to be US President? Was it the day Diana , Princess of Wales died?
For me, three things stand out
- The Terrorist Attacks of 9/11- Not only will I be telling my children this, but also my sibligns children, my bro and sis were to young to remember. I was 8. I remember hearing my father yelling for my mother to come to the TV that morning. I remember going to school and other kids saying WWIII has started. I remember all the TV stations playing footage all day and week long… I remember being very afraid of all Muslims, until I was old enough to know the difference between al-Queda and members of Islam.
2)The Death of Michael Jackson & Steve Irwin- Seriously, I remember where I was when I found out. With MJ I was at my school’s farm, with Steve I was home. I was so upset
- Election of 2008- I remember when Mr. Obama was announced President. I screamed with joy and called my friends. My dad, a Republican, was cursing at the TV. Unfortuntely, I had to wait another 3 months for Mr. Bush to leave. But it was still a great night.
