9/11

Today is a day to look back and remember all the lives lost. Though in my opinion that does not count the terrorists who were on all the flights. They were pieces of shit and should have never been allowed to live.

Sorry about getting sidetracked.

I remember where and who I was with on the day that we were attacked. I was fifteen and in my tenth grade study hall. The bell hadn't rung yet when our high school security guard came into our class room asking if we had laptops because someone was shouting in the halls that a plane flew into the two towers. I had never been to nyc despite me living in upstate ny. I didn't know what the two towers are despite them being in tv shows and movies. Joe a kid who I sat next to in study hall pulled up MSN and there it was the first tower on fire. What I didnt know was how bad it had gotten. There were a lot of speculations on what was going to get hit next. One of our guess were right the pentagon. I just remember going home and just seeing all the destruction and just hearing what was going on. I remember the next day in my history class we watched the news. I just could not understand how this could have happened. Why someone would do this.  I had always had pride in my country. I was a patriot. So when this happened and George W Bush came on television to say he will do everything he can to capture the terrorists who did this I couldn't be more proud. I felt he did the best he could in this situation.

Today I have friends and family serving in our military and who have been shipped over to the middle east. I pray that they come home safely.

9/11 will forever be in my memory. Even eleven years later its still burned in my brain how I cried for three days after the attacks. The need to want to do something but not able to other than donate money.

Thank you to the military and first responder's and to those brave civilians who fought the terrorists to take control of the plane. You all will never be forgotten.
