We will never forget September 11.  Remember where you were when you heard or watched those four planes devastate America? Remember the picture of the falling man? Remember the fortitude of those first responders to put the flag in its proper place?

We saw the impact it had on the economy and life in general.  However, did you know that this single event significantly shapes Gen Y, those born 1984-2002?

Here are 4 impacts 9/11 had and still has on Gen Y:

1 – Nostalgia found its way to the surface.

2 – The world is not so innocent anymore.

3 – Forced to grow up quicker.

4 – New set of fears created.
