A day of remembrance and opportunity
September 11, 2016
September 11 marks the anniversary of one of the most traumatic events our nation has faced in generations. This year, it also happens to coincide with National Grandparents Day, which has been celebrated every Sunday after Labor Day since 1978.
The overlap of these two days invites us to consider how different our perspectives can be even within our own communities and how broadening our perspectives through intergenerational bonds can benefit us as individuals, strengthen our communities, and challenge us to be more open-minded to the world at large.
