This Monday will mark 21 years since the 9/11 attacks that changed the United States of America. The Weber Remembers 9/11 Project is on display through Monday at the Weber County Fairgrounds.
"These students are seeing pictures. They're hearing 911 calls. They're watching news coverage that was before their time, and they're starting to see, 'Oh. This is why my mom says this is such a big deal," said Jennie Taylor, founder of the Major Brent Taylor Foundation.
Now, more than two decades later, Scasquarelli is sharing his experiences of logistics, loss and love with students like Ms. Skeem's sixth grade class who have studied the attacks in their history textbooks. He is sharing his experiences of logistics, loss and love. "That phone call to this day raises the hair on the back of my neck. … We lost 343 of our guys that day. In a flash. They were gone. Those buildings were 110 stories tall," Scasquarelli said. "I was absolutely shocked about how something so big could be reduced to something so little.""It's just eye opening for them. I think it will hopefully bring them a little bit of respect for what the people went through then, for all of the first responders.
"Hopefully, they'll pick something up and bring it with them forward one day, and maybe teach their own children what happened," Scasquarelli said.During the weekdays, school students will come visit the project on field trips, as part of a partnership between the Major Brent Taylor Foundation and the Ogden and Weber School Districts and their corresponding school foundations.
