Stories of personal experiences from September 11, 2001 were shared by clients today and throughout the week at Renewed Strength. "Never Forget" is a phrase being used in association with that day. I believe that sharing personal experiences is the only way to truly grasp what it was like to experience that tragic day. As a parallel, this flag, donated to the training studio by a client earlier this year, was flown ceremonially over the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor. We have lost to time the chance to hear first hand what it was like to experience December 7, 1941. As we transition deeper into a digital age it is crucial that, through oral tradition, we continue to share our experiences with the next generation. If you're younger and don't have a personal experience from September 11, 2001 ask someone who did and if you're older please share what it was like for you that day. "Never Forget" doesn't work if all we have are digital "posts" "reels" or "stories" on social media platforms.
