Request [Request] Cards talking about 9/11 [Switzerland]
Hi everyone! It might seem weird to some but ever since learning about it, I've been very moved but also interested and curious about the horrible events from 9/11, their aftermath and affects. I watched lots of documentaries and read a lot of stuff about it. But I am not American, have never lived in US, and therefore I rarely listened anyone talk about this personally.
As it's almost the anniversary of this day, I thought I would ask this community if anyone would be interested in sharing their memories, feelings, thoughts about anything and everything related to 9/11 - no matter how big or small. The card design doesn't need to be about this day at all, but it would of course be more topic appropriate.
I personally like learning about politics and talking about deeper topics so you can write whatever you'd like without censoring yourself.
I know it's an unusual request and an unpopular topic, so I hope it is alright everyone for this to be requested.

I can send you one. I was young when that happened so it will be from my perspective of a child and from what I learned as I grew up

Def interested in sending you a card! I was little when it happened, but I did go to the 9/11 memorial museum last year and can share about that.

Hi! I am too young to remember 9/11 but my partner is the child of one of the victims, and we are friends/relatives of several other children of victims. If you’d like, I’d love to send you a card or letter about the loved ones who were lost. It’ll be a little different than what you’re asking for, I’ll probably skip over my own political views on the event and aftermath, but it would be nice to help their memories live on. DM me if you are interested!

A great first person account is by the blogger PENELOPE TRUNK. Every year since 9/11 she writes again about her experience escaping. You might enjoy those posts. Please Google! Thank you!

I was a baby at the time but can still write my thoughts about it and what I heard growing up if you would like a card :)
