The enemy is no longer so apparent, and the mission is far less clear. But America's rising adults, those now in their teens and early 20s, have a unique qualification: More then any previous generation, they have been shaped by the random violence that now confronts everyone."

Letters are now on the way to Bush, and also to families who lost lives and to firefighters sifting through rubble." (USA TODAY) The author describes how educators are helping children cope with the terrorist attacks against the United States by encouraging students to talk about the events and to partake in charitable acts that aid rescue workers, victims and families who have lost loved ones.
