911DA Story: Story

I'm in my late 20's and what happened Septemeber 11th was something never thought of by me. A lot of people my age have never valued freedom because we have always had it. I listen to my grandparents talk to me about what happened in Pearl Harbor never imagining anything like this could happen in my lifetime. I have 2 little girls age 11 and 2 who mean the very essence of life to me.
After Septemeber 11th many songs were created and remixed with news footage, and memorials for the victims and this country. I took those songs, the speeches President Bush made, and a special religious tribute and made a CD for my children. So that they may know in their future the value of freedom, what it means to all of us, and the war we fought to keep it. I know my girls will listen to this one day and understand the pain this country endured that fateful day in our history. More lives were lost that day in this country than any war we have ever endured in this country.
