When I woke up my mom had already turned on the news she told me that a plain had hit the world Trade Center in New York. So I watched the news till it was time to go to school. When I got there I learned that the whole school would be going down to the library to watch the news this is when I first found out that it was a terrorist attack when I got back to class my teacher told us that we could tell our grandchildren about, this further angered me because she was saying it like it was something to brag about I just could not understand why she thought it would be a cool thing to discuss over dinner I mean what would someone think if you just came out at dinner and said ?hey guess what I saw the twin towers fall to the ground burning?.
After that day I never looked at the American flag the same, I never skipped out on saying the pledge of allegiance in school, and I never sat during the national anthem. But I also must say that I do not agree with president bushes decision to go to war because what did we do in that war? We did the same exact thing that they did to us and by bombing Afghanistan we killed innocents we did the same thing that they did to us and I will never agree with that.
But when I look back on 9-11 I will always remember how I would feel if my mother where to have been on that plane. But now I have a question for you please e-mail me at childberd@msn.com to let me know if you think I?m right for thinking the way I do about this cruel act on America.
