911DA Story: Story


On the day of September 11, 2001, I was watching the television at my home as I saw the unremarkeable site of the twin towers fall to the ground. I could not believe what I had seen. I thought to myself who would do such a horrible thing. Take innocent lives for pride for which the only people they were trying to hurt in the end was themselves. As much as we grieve for those who have left this earth, we will never give up and they did this to make a whole in our world and it did not work. They thought we were weak and it would keep us down but it only made us stronger. Together we could do anything. I would like to say we are true AMERICANS!!!!!!!! My prayer goes out to those who have lost someone special in their lives and those who did what they thought was the right thing to do in saving lives. Just Remember never give up faith in anything.
