As part of our 9/11 remembrance lesson, Officer Liberty shared his personal experience with the fourth-grade students at Edgeworth Elementary Quaker Valley School District.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, shortly after 8:00 a.m., Officer Liberty and his wife departed from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, en route to Las Vegas, Nevada. As the events of 9/11 unfolded, their flight was grounded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with thousands of other flights across the country.
Unable to continue their journey by air, Officer Liberty and his wife were forced to make the long drive home to Cleveland. During his visit with our fourth graders, Officer Liberty shared what he remembers from that day and helped students understand the uncertainty and impact that 9/11 had on our nation.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share these personal stories with our students as we remember the lives lost and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.
