Yes I would like a flip book. My son is a fireman and this would be a small memorial for him. What fireman in the United States will forget 9/11? I didn't personally know anyone who lost there life on 9/11 but felt the loss of every person who died that day.
I was glued to the TV that day and the next few days and suddenly they would no longer show the towers being hit or going down. I want to remember it, I want to be able to see it, I want to be angry at the people who did this. Why shouldn't we see what terrorists are capable of doing to our country? I feel this happened to everyone, not just the people who were in the buildings and their families.

In our small town, the schools would not show the events unfolding on their televisions. They did announce what happened and left it at that. In my opinion the high school and middle school students should have been able to see what was happening. I believe they were old enough to see what terrorists had done to their country. I will agree that for the very young students it should have been left up to the parents, probably to watch with them and talk about it and how they feel. I heard some older students asking why they could not watch and were quite angry about it. They said if there were students who didn't want to watch, they would have understood. There could have been certain rooms with TVs on.
I was at work on 9/11 and someone called us to let us know what happened. We had a TV that was hooked up to a security system so we could watch the store but we could switch to regular TV. That of course is what we did as soon as we heard. Every customer we had that day and the next few days stood and watched our TV. Our boss even called and said "Are you watching?", and we usually knew better than to mess with the TV. Now someone please tell me why we could not see the planes hit the towers or the towers coming down after a few days of coverage. I think a lot of Americans wanted to see it while it was being covered.
My son belongs to small volunteer fire department but they were able to send a few members to help with first aid for the searchers. I know they were all proud to help and  would do it again in a minute. My son was not one of the members to go but would have if needed. The people returning from ground zero said that they could never describe the sight, it was something you would have had to see for yourself. The people of New York City were unbelievable because they were all ready and willing to do what ever needed to be done to help the victims.
