911DA Story: Story
I was in third period, Spanish and the principal walked in the room and told us to move to another classroom. We were in a outside trailer. She announced that both of the World trade centers in New York had been demolished by terriosts.
I was in shock and couldn't believe what people were going through that had family in the trade center. Then I heard that the Pentagon had been attacked also and was worried about my dad who works in the Library of Congress on Capitol
Hill. We watched the news for the rest of the class. Through the rest of the day and the reminder of the week people in my school went home early that lived on base in Ft.Belvoir. All I could think about was the senseless loss of many lives. From that day I will never forget, freedom is priceless.
