I remember the event like it was yesteday. It was about 5:30 am when i woke up to the news about the World Trade Center. I went to say "Good
Morning" to my mom and she told me that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I remeber asking her what the World Trade Center was. When I first heard about it, I remeber thinking that the airplane crash was a navigational system mess up. But I soon found out that I was wrong. When I got to school, I heard that the planes delibratly aiming for the World Trade Center. Later I heard that another plane had hit the pentagon.Now I already knew what the Pentagon was so I started to get a little worried. I was in 4th period when my teacher Mr. Dunn put on the radio to KIIS FM and Rick Dees and Ellen K were covering the updates for the day. About mid way into class, a lady called the station and told that she was really worried for she had her mother and sister that she needed to contact and as I was sitting there thinking of all the people in the center and how many family memebers died in the plane crashes, I started to cry but I didnt want anyone to see me. Later that day, I found out that the Trade Centers fell.

About 1 year later, my school held a memorial service for all those who died they showed clips of the Trade Center. It showed men knowing that they were gonna die just jump from the Twin Towers. This will be the day that I know I will always remember!!!

M<y life has changed by now showing even more respect for the police and firemen......especially my uncle who is a friefighter.

I think everyone should remeber the many families that lost fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers!! Just thinkm if that was your family member. and if it was..... I will pray for your family.

Yes, I remeber a man who was GIVING flags away and he had 5 boxes in his car and he was just giving mini-American flags to anyone and everyuone who wanted one.
