20 Years Later: Remembering 9/11
This somber event may be best suited for older children and takes place from Sept. 4–12, 2021. For more information, go to FlagsOfValorSTL.com . Activities From Home For younger children, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum has a list of arts activities you can complete together from home. The activities focus on courage, resilience, and hope. Suggestions include writing a letter to first responders, creating your own first responder badge, and making paper cranes to symbolize peace. For more information, visit 911Memorial.org/learn/ youth-and-families . Have a Discussion If you want your kids to understand 9/11, the best thing you may be able to do is talk to them about it. While children do learn about the terrorist attacks in school, they may not realize that it was so recent or impacted people they know. Talk to your child about what you remember from that day in terms that are age-appropriate or ask a friend or family member who remembers to help. St. Louis stands together to mourn and honor those who died on 9/11. Use this 20th anniversary as an opportunity to help your child grapple with this difficult subject so they, too, can never forget.
How to Commemorate With Your Family
Those who are old enough to remember the terrorist attacks that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, know that it’s a day they’ll never forget. If you have children who were not yet born on that day, it can be difficult for them to truly comprehend the tragedy that others watched happen live. To help, here are some activities families can do together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Flags of Valor Local St. Louis organization Flags of Valor is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at Art Hill in Forest Park. They have been working since June to create thousands of American flags to stand tall in remembrance of those who have died in the war on terror. Each flag contains a photograph and dog tags of a fallen American service member or represents a first responder who died on 9/11.
