Blog Post Due Thursday, 9/18

As today is the anniversary of the attacks that took place on September 11, it is important that as students of history, we reflect on that moment.  Thus, in a post to your blog that is due next Thursday, 9/18, please respond to the following.  You may consider the questions in #3 below as guiding questions and need not respond to all of them individually but instead work to compose a cohesive paragraph that addresses the issues raised.

1. Any thoughts, reflections, commentary on 9/11.
2. Watch President Obama's speech from 9/10/14 regarding military engagement with ISIS.   
3. Consider that the United States has been a nation at war for most of your lives.  What does this mean?  How has it impacted your lives or your vision of what America is?  What issues are raised as a result?  What do you think of the plans that President Obama outlined in his speech? Do you support them or not?  Why not?  How does his speech define what it means to be an American?  Does that match up with your vision?  How does 9/11 impact that vision?
