This day started as just as any day. My best friend, Robbie was watching the news on Channel 26(7.:40am), when she said "Chris, an airplane has just crashed into one of the Towers in New York". I ran to the living room and as we watched in disbelief, we watched as the second airplane crashed into the other tower. Robbie and I, immediately, begin to cry and pray. Then, we begin to question, who would do such an unspeakable, horrifying and heartless thing and why? Then, when you would think nothing else would happen, an airplane crashed into the Pentagon, then in PA and the President was being targeted. The feeling we shared was "America is under attack". Again, who, why, where would this end, what will America Do?
Since this Country was founded on Godly Principles, America did what she has done throughout the years. We begin to show Our Love and Patriotism. Flags, decals, clothing, signs, slogans, etc. was everywhere. When terrorists attack, they should realize that America will STAND-GOD SHARED HIS GRACE ON AMERICA. And for those individuals who sacrificed their lives for us, let us not let their sacrifices be in vain. I know those heroes received STANDING OVATIONS in HEAVEN. I thank you HEROES, for the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless their families.
