History teacher John Buglione collected letters written by his students in the months following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York. Buglione now uses those letters as teaching materials for current students who were born after 2001. The letters contain firsthand accounts and reflections from teenagers who experienced the attacks.
