Dear Humans,

Twenty years ago terrorists attacked America, killing over 3,000 people. Anybody who was old enough to remember it, remembers exactly where they were that Tuesday morning.

But the 20 years that came after it are sort of a blur.

That’s why it’s so important to study history–not just the far off history that came before we were born, but the times that we experienced ourselves. Because we go through life at 1,000 miles per hour. We can’t see everything and the things we can see are filled with mystery and uncertainty.

But the past is a little easier to grasp. We still can’t know everything. There are still mysteries about September 11th. But by looking back we can know a whole lot more than we knew at the time. 

And that just might help us know a little more about tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
