Which news worthy events do you remember from your lifetime? Three things. And ask at least one adult.

When I think of news from my lifetime, there are three events that stick out very clearly.  The first of which is 9/11; I can even remember where I was when I heard about it- in class at my elementary school.  The second event is Hurricane Katrina.  It was one of the first large natural disasters that I could actually understand the severity of.  Lastly, I remember the day I heard on the news about the amped up airport security.  It was the day that terrorism became very real.

My mother told me that she remembers the following three things: 9/11, landing on the moon and the 6 day war. She did not care to tell me any specifics as to where she was when she first heard and what not, but, to me, these all three seem to be very memorable events that shaped the present day world and our country.
