Before I found out I was in English class about to go to the library to check out a book. When we got to the library I saw a few men watch the t.v. I had no clue still what was happening until the men talked about it. When I found out I still realy didn't get the picture untill the next class when everyone in class was talking about it. Then I realized what happened I couldn't understand why people could do such horrible things. I went through the whole day with people talking about it. When I got home my mom and sister talked about and i did too. Later my mom and I found out one of my grandma's cousin worked in the pentagon but he didn't go to work that day so he was ok. I thanked god that none of my family was killed on that day but I felt sad for all the people who lost a relative. This day was a terrible day and I hope it will never happen again. This day will always have a spot in my heart for all the lost people including the firefighters, police men, and the civilians who did nothing but fight for our country. Also the people in the airplanes who died. I just thought what if I was on that plane that day, everybody asked that quetion to themselves. What if I was on that plane or in those buildings, would I be alive today or would I be dead? This day is a remembrance of all that has fought for our country to make us free but still today we aren't really that safe. We never will be safe untill human kind is gone.
