September 11th Memorial

National President's Program

Alexander McNair Society met at the 9/11 Memorial at Fenton City Park. Members read books about the September 11th attacks before coming to the meeting. 

During the meeting, they learned about the National President's Program: Courage. Service. Honor. 

This program supports the Tunnels 2 Towers Foundation and educates today's youth about the the 9/11 attacks.

Members and Seniors discussed the September 11th attacks. One member said they didn't realize that there were attacks in more places than just the World Trade Center. Members also learned about the planes that crashed into the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. Members asked a lot of questions about where the seniors were at, and what day-to-day life was like at the time. They were amazed to learn how much the event affected the entire world.

Attendance: 4 members, 3 seniors
