content: “Let us remember, and never forget what hate looks like. The world is too small for anything but love. May you feel our warm embrace to heal your broken hearts. Meadow View Elementary Radcliff, KY 4th Grade” These powerful words that speak a universal truth obvious to elementary students is an example of the support shown by the rest of the country after September 11. The sense of patriotism and unity that swept the country was immediate and almost instinctual, coming from the smallest towns to other large cities, all showing their support for this national tragedy.
